Hi Julie
I think this has come through via LGNSW advocating for councils to make visible on rate notices that in addition to the FESL councils are also contributing an additional 11.7% contribution.
The 11.7% cant be shown as a rate or a separate payable amount, however there is nothing preventing councils from including wording on notices.
For anyone who has not seen the LGNSW weekly issue please follow the link:http://www.lgnsw.org.au/news/lg-weekly/lgnsw-weekly-issue-12-2
I hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Andrew
