Pricing policy 

In determining the appropriate fees to be charged for Council services and facilities in 2013-2014, the basic principle applied 

was that charges should be considered fair and equitable to the general community. Individual members of the community 

should not be precluded from essential services because of economic circumstances. 

The range of services provided by Council to the community is diverse and require different considerations when determining 

the associated fee or charge. The level of the fee or charge was determined having regard to the following categories (which 

have been included in this document next to the relevant fee or charge): 

Code 

A 

B 

C 

D 

E 

F 

Description 

Economic Cost 

Total cost of providing services for private good. 

Community Service 

Services considered to have a level of benefit to the community. Generally benefits are not solely 

confined to users. Partially funded by rates. 

Regulated Charges 

Federal or State Government set charges. 

User Pays Principal 

Services under this category are such that individual costs can be determined and met by the user 

of the service. 

Market Forces 

Services that Council operates in a competitive market and needs to fix charges similar to other 

providers. 

Cost Plus 

Services provided on a commercial basis with an amount of risk profit included. 

Section 94 (Developer Contributions) 

G 

Items are priced at the level determined by the adoption of Council's Section 94 Plan. 

The Section 94 Plan provides for quarterly increases in these fees based on Consumer 

Price Index (CPI) increases.

Goods and Services Tax 

Introduction 

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) passed through legislation on 30 June 1999 and received Royal Ascent on the 8 July 1999. 

The introduction of the Goods and Services Tax meant that certain fees and charges levied by Port Macquarie - Hastings 

Council attract GST, however Local Government benefits from a number of exemptions outlined in the Federal Treasurer's 

(Division 81) Determination. 

Transparency 

Council has gone to great lengths to ensure it has been totally transparent in reporting the applicability of the GST to its fees 

and charges. This document has been set out in such a way so that you, as the user, will know exactly where the GST applies 

to fees and charges. Three columns in particular within this document relate to GST: 

• Charge (excl. GST): This is the actual fee or charge without GST applied to it. 

• GST: If GST is applicable, this column will show the value of the GST to be applied (for one unit) and is rounded to the 

nearest cent. If we are unable to determine the cost of a good or service at the time of printing (eg the cost may vary during 

the year), "calculate" will appear in the fee line and GST will be calculated once the fee is known. If the column is blank yet 

the Fee Amount field contains a fee, it indicates GST is not applicable. 

• Charge (incl. GST): This column should only be used for indicative purposes only (refer to "GST Calculations" below). The 

column displays the Total Charge for one unit with GST included. 

GST Calculations 

In most cases Council has been able to calculate the GST charge and report it as a dollar figure. This amount is based on one 

unit. For example, the charge for a copy of a Deposited Plan (page 9) is $20.45, with GST of $2.05, bringing the Charge incl 

GST to $22.50. 

If Council was unable to calculate the unit charge at the time of printing, the word “calculate” will be shown in the fee line. In this 

case, GST will be calculated once the Fee Amount is known. 

GST Amendments 

While the fee amount in this document will not alter without a resolution of Council, followed by a subsequent period on public 

exhibition, the applicability of the GST to the fees and charges may, depending on the interpretations and rulings as the GST 

legislation evolves.

Where concession stickers are purchased, they are to be affixed to the window of the motor vehicle for a reduction in toll 

charges to apply.

(b) The rate per m² is a minimum charge for restoration of road openings up to 10m². 

(c) Where actual restoration costs exceed, by more than $200, the charge calculated by applying the appropriate rate 

per m², actual may be charged and any amount received in accordance with the above scale rates would be 

regarded as a deposit on final cost. 

(d) Actual costs are to be charged for restoration or road openings over 10m². 

(e) Several openings made at the one time less than 50m apart may be grouped as one, unless otherwise determined 

by the Director of Works.

shoulders, the charge shown for “earth and gravel, waterbound macadam and all other classes of unsealed

an “Applicants Information Check Sheet” in all road-closing matters prior to initiation or road closing action.

Example – Local dance school.

Party, Wedding Reception. This rate recognises that no financial gain will be gained from activity and that significant

social, cultural, intellectual development or welfare of the local community. Organisations eligible for this rate should 

be incorporated under the Associated Incorporations Act NSW (1984). This rate recognises the benefit these 

activities provide to the community and therefore a major discount applies, while allowing users to make a 

contribution to the cost facility. Eg Local Quilting Group. 

• General Bonds – Refundable – Please note that refunds will only be granted if the hall, room, key or equipment is 

returned in good and clean condition. Council or the Management Committee / Booking Officer has the rights to
