Hi Sue The merged Midcoast Council which is made up of the former Great Lakes, Greater Taree & Gloucester has around 55,000 assessments we will have 9 staff. This includes 1 debtors officer & 1 property officer (who does all the subdivisions, registers etc). We don’t currently have water but apparently MidCoast Water will be coming back to Council just waiting on the State Government not sure what’s going to happen then about staffing.
Regards
