Hi Kylie,
This is a tough one. I dont envy you. I would be reaching out to other Councils who have mosques and check how they rate any of their residential properties for the Iman’s. I would ask them to provide supporting documentation showing they are not using the residences for any other purpose (i.e leasing out and deriving an income). Any residential properties that are owned by any of our churches (catholic, baptist, Anglican etc) are all exempt but pay all the access and usage charges. It is easier to keep track of and audit for us though as we are regional.
Good luck!
Feel free to call if you have any questions. We have just done a massive audit on all our nonrateables.
