Council is seeking feedback on an amendment to the 2024/2025 Revenue Policy.
For the 2024/2025 financial year, Council increased the fee for bulk water, Sale of Water from Standpipes, to create equity between existing external (to the network) bulk water customers. These changes resulted in a small number of customers being inappropriately charged both the bulk water charge as well as the water access charge.
The amendment proposes a new fee for Private Property Connection – Bulk Water sales to ensure these existing customers are appropriately charged. The proposed new fee can be located on page 49 of the Revenue Policy 2024/2025 at $4.95 per kL.
Submissions are invited from the public for 30 days, closing on Tuesday 11 February at 4pm.
