             General Rate Concessions
In addition to those classes of land granted a general rate exemption as outlined in section 2.7.1
above, Council also provides general rates concessions to land deemed eligible in accordance with
Council’s General Rate Donation policy.
Applications received during the 2021/22 year that meet the policy eligibility requirements will be
granted a general rate concession for the year. Property owners must immediately notify Council if
there is a substantive change of land use for a property in receipt of a general rate concession.


2.8          Fees and Charges
Section 97 of the Act allows a local government to fix a cost recovery fee and section 172(1) (c) of
the Regulation provides that the Revenue Statement must state the criteria used to decide the
amount of any cost recovery fees. All fees and charges will be set with reference to cost reflective
pricing. Cost recovery fees will be charged up to a maximum of full cost.
Any non-profit, volunteer, charitable, community, sporting, or religious organisation not in possession
of a permanent liquor or gaming licence or a surf lifesaving club (or similar organisation) in
possession of a permanent liquor licence is eligible for a single discount of 50% reduction in
development application fees.
Section 172(1) (d) of the Regulation provides that if the local government conducts a business
activity the Revenue Statement must state the criteria used to decide the amount of the charges for
the activity’s goods and services. Commercial charge setting will have considered the competitive
neutrality principle for a business activity conducted by Council and all commercial charges for the
2021/22 financial year are set out in the Register of General Cost-Recovery Fees and Commercial
Charges 2021/22 as adopted.
