I think, along with Aboriginal Land Council and probably other bodies, the definitions seem to raise more questions than answers.

At least in the case of Essential Energy I can see them paying the ESL as they are not exempt from rates.

However there is no way the Aboriginal Land Council will be liable as they are;

1. exempt from rates under section 555.

2. they meet the definition of a Council and according to the Classification Manual 3.1 Government Land is owned by a council.

3. fully funded by Governemnt.

At present I have Essential Energy as INDNV

Answering my own question- they Act exempts them from rates.

Thank you Michelle

I think that clears it up 100%.

PS So does that mean the land should be rated?

Hi David

The building department here at Junee are compiling the list for me right now.

I am lucky to have such a helpful and efficient small team of 3 part time staff in that area.

Yes, I presume they are getting the data from the DA register.

Hi Andrew,

Your explanation is in contrast to the example on Page 15 of the manual showing

Prop ID 12345
Land Classification RESV
Specified Use = DEVRES

Or am I misreading this?

Hi Jenita

This response despite the manual saying

3.2 Public Benefit Land

“a property cannot be classified as Public Benefit Land if it can be classified as Government land”.

and

3.1 Government land

Land should be classified as Government Land if the land is: (a) owned by ……….a council.

Hi Cherie

As a small Council we have a large % of our notices handled by 2 agents in town as we have a lot of rentals.

We accept the agent forwarding a written request to redirect notices.

The agent also advise us if the agreement is no longer in place.
