Hi Tracey,
I am thinking along the same lines as you. If the Opn Plan is not adopted (and rates and charges “made”) prior to 1 Aug then 1st inst due date will be extended to be the same as 2nd inst.
Otherwise, working backwards I have estimated that we would need to get the Opn Plan adopted and rates and charges “made” by 15 July in order to allow for a week of testing and levying and a week for data at the mailhouse (so that service is achieved by 1 Aug). This would mean that the Draft Opn Plan would need to go to Council approx. 24/06 to allow for public exhibition 28 days. That’s only 6 weeks from now, I’m not suggesting it’s doable or feasible but that’s the scheduling that I have come up with if a Cncl wanted to avoid missing out on the first inst payments coming in to Cncls in Aug.
Is this the same scheduling you guys have come up with?
Cheers,
Susan
