Hi all.
I have been asked to find out if Council is allowed to recoup, as a charge on the rate notice, the extra % of the ESL that is being levied on Councils due to the bushfires. (Just the additional % that has been covered by the OLG, not the normal 11%)
Look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Glynes

Hi Glynes
I don’t think there is a mechanism to add a charge for his purpose on the rates and charges notice within the current legislative framework.
I am aware that a lot of effort is being applied to trying to do so but unfortunately at this stage councils do not have discretion to add a line item on rates and charges notices.
It may worthwhile having a look at the posts under SoC click here

Regards,
Andrew
