Hi Glynes,

We have also received the same invitation. We have had an initial discussion only with Revenue NSW.

They have a set fee for each account and this is dependant on the quantity submitted to them. And will not take on only a small amount of debts to be recovered.

I was told they have councils who do this but could not find on website supplied by them.

The flat fee set by them and payable by Council is apparently not recoverable and cannot be passed on to the ratepayer.

I am interested if you got any feedback from other Councils, if this is a viable option, pro’s and cons etc.

I got this same email today after submitting the data, that the GM letter is required to submit with the data for the chief commissioner.

Has anyone done this yet and can you provide a template.

Hi Andrew,

I have not been able to access the Revenue NSW site and have been informed by our IT Department the problem is on their end. I have advised them earlier in the week and have had no reply.

So concerned that I cant download this document which will be in the portal specific to each council for downloading.

I am also concerned about the deadline of the 2 December to get this done.

Regards
Kim

Andrew,

In the circular are you able to explain what they mean by point 6 under the Changes to improve flexibility for residential and farmland rates can also be used by all NSW councils which I have below:

* The Act also allows for regulations to be made to specify circumstances under which the rating exemptions for land subject to a conservation agreement may be removed. This will not commence until regulations are made following consultation with key stakeholder to ensure incentives for land conservation remain in place.

I would also be interested in the outcome of this as we have also received a letter today from Essential Energy claiming exemption under S555(a) as they state that the Occupation permit licence is for electrical infrastructure and the transmission of electricity i.e for a public purpose. And does not provide Essential Energy with exclusive possession of the land.
