Draft Management Plan <strong>2005</strong>-2009<br />

DOMESTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT<br />

Domestic Waste Management (DWM) charges, unlike other fees and charges, have very<br />

specific requirements under Secti<strong>on</strong>s 496 & 504 <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the Local Government Act (1993).<br />

They are:<br />

A Council must make and levy an annual charge for the provisi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> DWM services<br />

for each parcel <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> r<strong>at</strong>eable land for which the service is available.<br />

A Council must not apply income from its <str<strong>on</strong>g>ordinary</str<strong>on</strong>g> r<strong>at</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wards the cost <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

providing DWM services.<br />

Income applied by Council <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wards the cost <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> providing DWM services must <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

obtained from the making & levying <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a charge.<br />

Income obtained from charges for DWM must <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g> calcul<strong>at</strong>ed so as <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> not exceed the<br />

reas<strong>on</strong>able cost <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Council <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> providing those services.<br />

The effect <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> these requirements is th<strong>at</strong> Council cannot subsidise DWM services.<br />

A. Single Residential Dwellings / Base Service<br />

appointment and subject <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> availability).<br />

B. Fl<strong>at</strong>s and Home Units<br />
