Eligibility for annual donations of rates, annual charges and one-off fees
Council may consider refunding fees or charges for not-for-profit community Organisations and s355 committees on a one-off basis for development application fees and associated charges.
Council may also consider donations towards annual waste, water and sewerage charges for community organisations. Council may also consider a one-off rates rebate for sporting, recreational and other community organisations that are able to demonstrate registered not-for-profit status.
NOTE 1: Churches and religious bodies are exempt from rates under s.555 of the Local Government Act 1993, however are required to pay all charges in relation to water, sewer and waste services.
NOTE 2: There is no legislative requirement for Council to provide relief to sporting, recreational and community organisations for rates and charges. Any donation provided for this purpose is at Council’s discretion.
The level of rebate will be assessed for all applicants by using the guideline which can be downloaded from the document library to the right.
