    Hi all

    I have received a letter from Endeavour Energy, they have a permit issued under Part 5 Division 2 of the Forestry Act 2012, which permits non forestry users to access and use Electricity land for a particular purpose, in their case transmission of electricity.

    The VG’s provided a valuation many years ago to Council, in which rates have been levied. Endeavour are now disputing this and state permits from NSW Forests are exempt under 555(a).

    I would have thought that if this was the case Council would not have been issued with a valuation. I have referred this onto the VG’s who have requested a copy of the permit from the Forestry Corporation of NSW. Any assistance or comments would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
