Has anyone else received an email from the Transport Asset Manager (TAM) advising of amendments to section 4 of the Transport Administration Act 1988 which has come into effect 01 January 2025?

TAM is requesting that Council does not change the direction of any rates notices that are currently issued to TAM’s tenants (if any) as this is the process under TAM given TAM is a Crown agency. Any rates notices that TAM receives from Council will be forwarded to TAM’s property agent, Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL) who will return the notices to Council so that they can be reissued direct to the tenants or otherwise an exemption claimed (if not currently leased). The email also provides a spreadsheet listing relevant properties for the area and requesting to have exemption applied due to these changes.

Just wondering if any other Councils have come across this request?
Thanks – Carla

Hi Carla,

Sutherland received this email back in August that I have just finished working through.

I responded with request for further information on some of the properties they requesting to be made exempt. As well as a few properties that advised should still be rated advising that payments had not been made and interest was accruing and would not be waived.

I have yet to receive any notices back, but will keep you updated if anything else happens.

Hello Carla,

The City of Sydney has also received a similar spreadsheet from TAM and their property manager, JLL, confirming tenancies and exempt properties for vacant shops. We have been reissuing notices directly to the liable person for tenanted shops and applying exemptions for properties that are vacant.
