Hiya Everybody
Up here in the mountains we have a hall at Leura that is exempted from rates.
Although it may be technically incorrect every Council I have worked at have exempted CWA Halls from payment of rates.
The exemptions have generally been granted on the grounds of the work that the CWA does within the community could be deemed to be that of a public charity.
I also agree with the comments made by Neil regarding not wanting to upset the CWA Ladies or their Association. To do so would be at your own peril.
Hope this helps.
Trevor
