CENTRAL HIGHLANDS REGIONAL COUNCILSCHEDULE OF RATES AND CHARGES - YEAR ENDING 30 June 2021

At Council’s Budget Meeting held 30 June 2020, Central Highlands Regional Council adopted a system of Differential Rating. The Council has implemented Differential Rates with the intent and for the purpose of adjusting/easing the effect of what it regards as uneven fluctuations of the annual valuation which would otherwise lead to an inequitable distribution of rates.

Council will issue rate notices for all general rates, special rates and charges, utility charges and other charges (other than water consumption) half yearly; the first for the half year ended 31 December and the second for the half year ended 30 June.

Water access and consumption charges will be levied half yearly (based on a water consumption rating year beginning 1 June and ending 31 May) generally in October (for consumption measured for the half year 1 December and ending 31 May) and April (for consumption measured for the half year beginning 1 June and ending 30 November); or in conjunction with the rate notice for the half year ending 30 June and 31 December, respectively.

STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 90 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT REGULATION 2012You may object to the categorisation of your land by giving Council an Objection Notice on the form approved by the Council within 30 days after the date of issue of the rate notice.

The sole ground on which you may object is that, having regard to the criteria determined by the Council for categorising rateable land, your land should have been included, as at the date of issue of the rate notice, in another of the categories specified in this statement.

Giving an Objection Notice will not, in the meantime, affect the levy and recovery of the rates specified in this rate notice.

If, because of an objection made, your land is included in another category, an adjustment of rates will be made by Council.

CATEGORIESThe categories and a description of each of those categories applying to rateable land are as follows:

Integrated Coal Mine means land which is used, or intended to be used in an integrated manner for the purposes of coal mining or purposes ancillary or associated with coal mining such as, for example, washing down, stockpiling, haulage, water storage and rehabilitation.

Principal Place of Residence means a place where a person usually or habitually lives and, particularly, a place where a person usually eats and sleeps in the ordinary course of their life and subject to the following:

• at least one person who owns the dwelling or lot predominately lives in theproperty of which no part is offered for rent;

• at least one person who is a life tenant of the dwelling or lot predominatelylives in the property of which no part is offered for rent;

Principal place of residence does not include: -

• dwelling or lot that is owned by an entity other than a natural person (e.g.company or incorporated association); or

• dwelling or lot owned by a person as a trustee of a trust; or

• dwelling or lot that is vacant, whether permanently or temporarily (for morethan 120 days in the financial year).

Workers Accommodation means a facility used primarily for the accommodation of persons, other than tourists and holidaymakers, who are employed or work in, or in association with, construction, resources and mining activities, commonly known as a “workers camp”, “single persons quarters”, “work camp”, “accommodation village” or “barracks”.

For determining whether a place of residence is a person’s principal place of residence the Council may have regard to:

• the length of time the person has occupied the residence;

• the place of residence of the person’s family;

• whether the person has moved his or her personal belongings into theresidence;

• the person’s address on the electoral roll;

• whether services such as telephone, electricity and gas are connected tothe residence in the person’s name;

• any other relevant matter.

For clarity, a person can only have one principal place of residence at any given time.

Capping will only apply to land that remains in the same class of category in 2020/2021, as it did in 2019/2020. Capping will be applied and removed on a whole year basis only, where applicable, i.e. adjustments will not be applied for part of a year either way. For the purposes of determining the application of capping in 2020/2021, the classes of category are as follows:

Multi-unit (flats) - so long as the number of flats in 2020/2021 is the same as the number of flats in 2019/2020

Shopping Centre – so long as any change in the retail floor area in 2020/2021, compared to the retail floor area in 2019/2020 is not such that the Land must be moved into a different Shopping Centre category

Public accommodation facilities – so long as the number of rooms, units or sites in 2020/2021 is the same as the number of rooms, units or sites in 2019/2020.

Workers accommodation – so long as the number of rooms, suites or caravan sites in 2020/2021 is the same as the number of rooms, suites or caravan sites in 2019/2020.

Feedlots – so long as the prescribed number of SCUs in 2020/2021 is the same as the prescribed number of SCUs in 2019/2020.Coal Mining – so long as any change in the number of employees and/or contractors as at 1 July 2020, compared to the number of employees and/or contractors as at 1 July 2019, is not such that the Land must be moved into a different Coal Mining category in 2020/2021

Extractive Industries – so long as the prescribed amount of material permitted to be extracted in 2020/2021 is the same as the prescribed amount of material permitted to be extracted in 2019/2020

C. For avoidance of doubt, capping will not apply:

• where a property is assigned to another differential rating category which is not in the same class of category;

• where the rateable assessment is levied the minimum general rate for the current year;

• where the area of the rateable assessment changes (including, for example, by way of amalgamation or separation of rateable assessments);

• where the general rate was calculated on a valuation to which Section 50 of the Land Valuation Act 2010 applied (i.e. developers concession);

• where the general rate was calculated on a valuation issued pursuant to Section 274 of the Land Valuation Act 2010 (i.e. offset valuation); or

• where there has been a change in the valuation of the rateable assessment, (other than the revaluation of the whole of the region) during the current or previous financial year.
