Revenue Statement - 2023/24


•     The owner provides evidence that the area of the land on which their dwelling or duplex is
      situated (including common areas in community titles complexes) is 400 square metres or less,
      or
•     The owner provides evidence that they employ a gardening contractor who regularly removes
      all garden waste from the property to Council’s resource recovery facility or other approved
      location.
Service cancellations are not permitted for properties that are intermittently occupied such as holiday
homes, or temporarily vacant premises awaiting sale or rental occupancy. Such premises, which
are intermittently occupied for a portion of the year, are required to pay the full annual charge.

           Minimum Charge
A minimum charge equivalent to $220.50 per annum shall apply to all properties receiving a waste
service. For example, where a bulk waste service is shared by strata / group titled units instead of
individual waste bins, a minimum charge per unit equivalent to $220.50 per annum shall be applied.

           Adjustment of Waste Management Charges
Where the number of bins or frequency of service is altered at any time during the financial year a
supplementary rates notices may be issued.
Service cancellations are permitted in the following circumstances:
•     Following demolition of premises – pro-rata adjustments allowed; or
•     Premises that will be vacant for a full year and will not be intermittently occupied, or offered for
      sale or rent. Cancellation must be made in the form required by Council (Note: If services are
      cancelled and occupancy subsequently occurs during the financial year, the full annual charge
      shall apply.)
Service cancellations for the garden waste bin service that is not part of the 3 bin service may be
requested at any time; however a pro rata refund will not be provided (no refund applies for a service
cancelled when paying a rate notice).
It is the owner’s responsibility to check that all waste management charges are correct at the time of
the issue of the rate notice. Council will not adjustment waste management charges levied in prior
financial years.
