Hi Everyone
Just to clarify taking the upfront payment does not mean you cant also do cost recording as well, if you think your costs will exceed what was offered in the MOU.

Hi Maria
In Ku-ring-gai the property is under the ownership of the Minister for Police and Emergency Services and is Non Rateable.
Have you done a title search?

Hi Megan
I think its a partial change of circumstances and Section 598 (1) and (2) come into effect.
This requires the Valuer general to determine the attributable part of land sold and the attributable part of the land remaining. So some of it would become due and some of it would remain postponed. The act says whatever Council considers equitable in 598 (2), I’d say make them pay for the part they sold.
They’re my thoughts happy to hear anyone else’s opinion.Robert
Hi Everyone
My opinion of the proclamation is this.
(1) The proclamation only applies to 2016/2017 you never know there might be another for 2017/2018 we don’t know.
(2) Whatever your pre merge rating structure was, as adopted for the 2015/2016 rating year remains. What I mean by this is if you had a base amount in your residential category you cant change it to include a minimum. If you had a 70/30 split in your business to residential ratio you cant now change it to say 60/40. I don’t think a major change would be allowed (excluding any SVs already granted).
(3) Whatever your pre merge categories were they now apply to the new Council. This means that you would have a Council A Residential category and rate in $ and a Council B Residential rate in $ and so on.
When the revenue policy goes to the New Council for adoption it would include the pre merge Councils revenue policies that had been on display.
Happy to add my two cents. Please add yours as the more discussion the more likely we’ll have a good consensus on this matter.

Hi David
John is correct with dominant use still being the defining factor.

Hi
To clarify further Section 575(3)a States: all ordinary rates and charges for domestic waste management services levied on any land for the same year are reduced is not to exceed $250.
The important word being “and” meaning you cant just rebate one or the other.

Hi Tracey
You’ll find the answer in Sections 11.8 and 11.9 of the rating and revenue raising manual. Section 11.8 mentions aggregated amount of ordinary rates and dwm.
It is important that an accurate apportionment of pensioner concessions between rates and DWMS charges is undertaken if the cost of providing the concessions is part of the reasonable cost calculations used when setting the DWMS charge.
When pensioner concessions are treated as a cost of providing the DWM service, consequentially, the amount of government reimbursement should also be considered and deducted from the calculation of the cost of providing the pensioner concession.
Hope this helps.
Hi Tracey
I answered a similar question under payment of rates and believe the same applies here, once the land is transferred to Council I think Section 571 (3) is applicable
“A person who becomes liable for rates and charges levied on land is liable to the council for a rate or charge owing in respect of the land even though the person was not so liable when the rate or charge was levied.”
I believe Council is now liable and should pay the rates not write them off.Robert
