    Hi Dajana

    I am responding to this fairly quickly as I was just on the website when it came in. Also, I moved it to the Domestic Waste chat for you.

    We use Pathway that allows us to raise charges against the parent strata assessment. The parent is not a rateable parcel but the Act does permit charges to be raised if the owner provides in writing a request to be charged, ‘council may make an annual charge for the provision of a domestic waste management service for a parcel of land that is exempt from rating if, the owner of that land requests or agrees to the provision of the service to that land,’. The request must be in writing.

    We only provide additional organics services, otherwise each unit is levied an annual charge for waste and recycling, if they have a single large bin we still charge each unit.

    Hope this is helpful.

    Regards,
    Andrew
