2. Introduction

Your rate notice shows the differential general rate category to which your property belongs. Section 90 of
the Local Government Regulation 2012 provides that an owner may object to the categorisation of the land
on the sole ground that, having regard to the criteria decided by the local government by which rateable land
is categorised, the land should have been included in another rating category.
The notice of objection must:
    Be given within 30 days after the date of issue of the rate notice, and
    Be in the form approved by the local government, and
    Nominate the rating category in which the owner claims the land should be included, and
    Specify the facts.
Prior to making this objection owners should refer to the Noosa Shire Council Differential General Rates
table, which includes both the general and specific criteria by which land is categorised contained in council’s
Revenue Statement. Please note that section 89(2) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 provides that
the making of an objection about the category of the land does not stop the levying and recovery of rates on
the land.


3. Please answer the questions at section 4 & 5 then complete the declaration at section 7.
Upon receipt of the signed declaration and any supporting documentation council will review the Differential
General Rate category and notify the owner of council’s decision. Please pay the net amount shown on your
rate notice by the due date unless you receive written notification from council of a category adjustment. If
the applicant details shown below differ from those in Council’s records your contact details will be updated
with the information provided on this form.
Please note that adjustments will only be made within the current rate period.
Ongoing checks are made by authorised Council Officers to maintain the accuracy of council’s
records.
