      Hello Everyone,

      Could you please advise how your Council treats a dedicated drainage reserve? Is this non-rateable? If so, under what section of the act allows this.

      Thanks in advance for any replies.

      Thanks
      Melissa

        G’day Melissa,

        We treat drainage reserves as exempt from payment of rates.

        Section 556(1)(a) provides exemption for land that is a public place.

        The LGA Dictionary states ‘Public place means…public land…’, and defines public land as ‘…any land…under the control of the council…’.

        Regards, MO.
