Targeted Rates

All rates listed are inclusive of GST

ð Sewerage

The Council sets a targeted rate for sewage disposal on the basis of a targeted rate per separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit which is either connected to a Council scheme or for which a connection is available. The charge will be set on a differential basis based on the availability of the service – either connected (full charge) or serviceable (half charge). Connected means the rating unit is connected to a Council operated sewerage scheme. Serviceable means the rating unit is not connected, but is within 30 metres of such a scheme. Rating units which are not connected to the scheme, and which are not serviceable, will not be liable for this rate.

Quarter charges apply to hotels, motels, and schools which receive an initial full sewerage charge and then one quarter sewerage charge for each unit (pan charge) thereafter.

The targeted rate includes:

• the operation and maintenance costs for Council schemes and
• capital costs (loan repayments of previous capital expenditure, and/or current capital expenditure costs, and/or development costs of capital expenditure).
