Hi there

Does anyone have any CWA halls in their area and if so, do you rate them and what are they rated as??

Or do you have them as exempt.

Our in house solicitor has asked us to canvass other councils.

Thank you 🙂

Hi Linda

We have a CWA Hall in Camden and its rated as a Business.
Council gives them a donation each year based on the difference between Business Rates and Residential Rates.
A State MP once told me that you can upset everybody except the CWA ladies.

Cheers

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
