    Hi Maria and Todd

    I still agree with Roberts original post as it relates to Fire and Rescue. It would appear that not all boards of the fire commissioner have been transferred to Fire and Rescue so there are two separate scenarios in play. This is basically all the information that I have and councils may want to read this before making their decision,

    1. The Office of State Revenue identifies Fire and Rescue as a Government body or Statutory body (not State owned Corporations), you can access the link here http://www.osr.nsw.gov.au/taxes/payroll/government

    2. In Campbelltown the boards of fire commissioners had been dissolved and all assets transferred to the crown. Check part 2 of schedule 4 of the Fire Brigades Act 1989.

    If you have received any advice or information that in support would you be kind enough to share.

    Regards,

    Andrew
