Greater Taree City Council Pricing Policy Council’s fees and charges are levied in accordance with regulation 201 of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005.

The Council reviews its schedule of Fees and Charges on an annual basis as part of its budget process with the view of optimising Council's revenue base while at the same time attempting to ensure that the level of fees and charges are fair and equitable for residents and other users of Council services.

The Council, when setting its level of fees and charges, considers the nature of the service and recognises any community service obligation and wider policy objectives including equity and social justice.

The purpose of this Pricing Policy is to outline how Council charges and recovers approved fees and charges for:

Supplying products, services or commodities

Giving of information

Providing a service relating to the exercise of Council's regulatory functions,

Allowing use or benefit from Council's assets, possessions, facilities or enclosures.

In determining the amount of fees to be charged for goods and services the following factors are considered:

The cost of providing the service

The importance of the service to the community

Prices fixed by the relevant industry body or bodies

Any factors specified in the Local Government regulations

User-pays principle, and

Market prices

All of Council's fees and charges are reviewed on an annual basis prior to finalisation of Council's annual operating budget. However, in special circumstances, fees and charges can be reviewed and approved by Council in accordance with the Local Government Act and Regulations.



The predominant consideration in reviewing these fees and charges shall be full or true cost recovery or market price on a fee for service (user pays) basis. However, this principle will only be applied where the cost of the service provision can be accurately determined and the end user can be easily identified.

Council's Pricing Policy is based on a number of pricing categories.

1. Regulatory fees and charges

These fees are fixed by legislation including the Local Government Act and the Local Government Regulations. Council does not have discretion in the application of these fees and charges unless it is described in the legislation.

2. Full cost recovery

Fees and charges in this category are intended to be provided at no cost to Council. They are characterised by services that relate to individuals or individual sectors of the community. Non-regulatory fees in the building and development area are an example.

3. Partial cost recovery

These fees and charges usually have a component of “public benefit” and it is appropriate that general revenue from rates income is applied to a proportion of the fee or charge. The level of cost recovery and subsidisation is determined on a case by case basis.

4. Commercial return

Commercial fees and charges are applied where Council provides a competitive or entrepreneurial service. Principles of competitive neutrality may be applied to these fees and charges.

Reduction or Waiver of Fees Section 610A(1) of the Local Government Act 1993 provides that "a council may waive payment of, or reduce, an approved fee (whether expressed as an actual or a maximum amount) in a particular case if the council is satisfied that the case falls within a category of hardship or any other category in respect of which the council has determined payment should be so waived or reduced." Pursuant to section 610A(1) of the Act, Council has adopted the following policy:

A reduction or waiver of the fee will only be permitted where the person or organisation requesting it is determined by the General Manager to fit into one or more of the following categories:

Category 1 - Significant Personal Hardship

To qualify for this category the following criteria must be met:

(a) the person must be able to demonstrate that the service or product that they require will provide them with some reasonable benefit and that this benefit is not available to them through means other than council; and



(b) the person must be able to demonstrate that their personal financial situation is such that they are unable to pay the adopted fee or charge. This may require the production of a bank statement or other documentary evidence; and

(c) in the opinion of the General Manager, a reduction or waiver of the fee is appropriate in the circumstances.

Category 2 - Non-Profit Organisation With Significant Financial Hardship


(a) the organisation must be able to demonstrate that the service or product that it requires will provide it with some reasonable benefit and that this benefit is not available to them through means other than council; and

(b) the organisation must be able to demonstrate that its financial situation is such that it is unable to pay the adopted fee or charge. This may require the production of appropriate documentary evidence; and

(c) in the opinion of the General Manager, a reduction or waiver of the fee is appropriate in the circumstances.

Category 3 - Demand Stimulation/Community Benefit


(a) the person/organisation receiving the benefit of the service or product must be eligible to receive a subsidised or waived fee in order to provide a stimulus for the demand of the service or product; or

(b) the person/organisation receiving the benefit of the service or product must be eligible to receive a subsidised or waived fee in order to promote community or environmental benefits or to assist the economic well-being of the community; and

(c) in the opinion of the General Manager, a reduction or waiver of the fee is appropriate in the circumstances. In forming an opinion, the General Manager will give consideration to the level of other council support available or granted to the person/organisation.

All requests for a reduction or waiver of a fee or a charge must be made in writing.

In all cases where a reduction or waiver of a fee or charge is approved, the reasons for the decision and details of the actual fee charged will be recorded by council staff on the appropriate council file. Any approval given will be on the basis of the circumstances of the individual case and will not be taken as a precedent for subsequent requests.
