the quantity and types of waste generated at each premises.

Adjustment of Charges
Where the number of bins or frequency of service is altered at any time during the
financial year, a supplementary rates notice may be issued.
Service cancellations are permitted:
- following demolition of premises – pro-rata adjustments allowed;
- if premises 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.
If service is cancelled and occupancy subsequently occurs during the financial year,
the full annual charge shall apply.
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 adjust waste management
charges levied in prior financial years.
