Other Charges

Service Charge(s)

Denial Bay Water Reticulation

The Council provided a reticulated water supply to the residents of Denial Bay Township. The full cost of establishing this service was raised from a loan. The Council is recovering this cost through the imposition of a service charge. Where this service is available to non-rateable land a service charge will still apply against that land.

The service charge for each separate allotment receiving or able to receive the service is $167.25 per annum per allotment. The Council decided to raise the revenue by means of a service charge because of the concept of user pays.

Ceduna/Koonibba Water Scheme

The Council has undertaken construction of infrastructure to provide a general water supply to the residents of rural properties and Denial Bay township as delineated in the plan of the Ceduna/Koonibba Water Scheme.

The Council has decided to raise $66,221 by way of separate rates to maintain infrastructure for this financial year. The Council has declared a separate rate of:

Residential Land 0.4698 cents in the dollar
Primary Production Land 0.24764 cents in the dollar
Koonibba Aboriginal Community $8,000.00

The revenue raised from this rate can only be applied to the operations of the Ceduna/Koonibba Water Scheme. This revenue is raised from ratepayers within the Water Scheme on the concept of 'user pays' for provision of infrastructure to ratepayers who receive a direct benefit.

Waste Collection & Disposal Service
