Background

At the September 2019 meeting Council resolved to amend the Schedule of Fees and Charges 2019-2020 in two areas. These amendments are detailed below and will be on public exhibition for a minimum period of 28 days, in accordance with section 610F of the Local Government Act 1993.


Proposed amendments

1. Early Education Centres – Bond fee

The bond is paid by families on enrolment, and is returned to them when they leave the service after payment of any outstanding fees and charges incurred while the child attends Council’s Early Education Centres. A small amendment to the enrolment bond is proposed to ensure families are being charged a bond fee for their enrolment days only. This will assist families with their fee payments as fees are charged two weeks in advance.

2. Waste service – Additional pick-up fee for a specific bin size

Council currently offers an additional paid pick-up service for residents to have their domestic waste and recycling bins emptied. The fee for this service is variable depending on the size of the bin. The approved 2019/20 fees and charges included fees for the 80/120/240L bins but left out the fees for the 660L bins. The proposed amendment is the inclusion of the fee of $78.92 for emptying of the 660L capacity bin as shown in Table 3.
