Rural Fire Levy

A rural fire levy applies where the local rural fire brigade has chosen to participate in council's scheme to raise funds to provide equipment for the volunteer brigades.

Urban Fire Levy

This levy is set by the State Government and collected by council. It applies to properties in the designated urban fire brigade areas.

Waste Collection Charge

This applies to properties that receive a standard domestic waste/recycling collection service. Council provides a 240 litre waste bin (serviced weekly) and a separate 240 litre bin with a yellow lid to hold recyclable materials (serviced fortnightly). To confirm if you are in a kerbside collection area, phone council.

Community Infrastructure Charge

This charge is paid by all ratepayers, with the money put towards infrastructure construction, operations, maintenance and other related activity within the region. The separate community infrastructure charge is the same amount for everyone and is levied on all rateable properties.
