Hi there

I’m interested in feedback as to whether your council have decided to separate or aggregate the FESL fixed charge and the rate calculation for the 2017-18 Rates Notice.

Are there any significant pros or cons of either approach?

I was thinking for sure that I wanted to separate out the lines to be transparent as possible but then I thought there may be a good reason to keep the two together as one amount.

Your thoughts would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Cherie Muir.

I think we are going for separate, to assist with the ‘how did you come up with that” question

Hi Cherie,
We are only showing one line. It’s better administratively for us as a Pathway site and it’s a simpler display on the Rate Notice (in my opinion).

Hi Cherie,

Midwestern are planning to print separate lines, as long as we can fit them in.

Cheers

Probably one line at Canterbury-Bankstown

Cherie,

This is still up for debate I would prefer one line as Suzi mentioned as a Pathway Council, but management is still deciding what is best for the ratepayer to understand.

Camden will be displaying 2 lines to cut down on the number of questions regarding calculations

[Suzy Melki]

Fairfield will be displaying 2 lines to show breakup of the calculations.
