Revenue Statement - 2025/26


•      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 $252.00 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 $252.00 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:
•     following demolition of premises – pro-rata adjustments allowed or
•     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.
Note: If services are cancelled and occupancy subsequently occurs during the financial year, the full
annual charge will 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.

           Calculation of Residential Charges (wheelie bins)
The charges will be those specified in the tables below. The Queensland Government Waste Levy
