Hi All,
We used our DWM vacant land charge to identify our residential vacant land and have put in place a process similar to Simone’s as we prorata from date of registration now for rates and waste, we adjust from the sub-classification and charge from the next quarter. As for business we used the stormwater coding where there was no stormwater we did a desktop audit such as DA/CC/OCC, GIS, and Google and where we could not ascertain whether it was vacant or not we classified as non vacant and will wait for the ratepayer to request a review.
We also have a monthly compliance reports that already pick up on most of this coding so that will be reviewed as well.
Kylie in relation to your question if there is a structure that can be used for “storage or treatment of goods” than it needs to be non vacant, regardless of the size is my understanding.
