<strong>COUNCIL</strong> MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012<br />
According to section 6.19 <strong>of</strong> the Local Government Act 1995, if the Council proposes to<br />
impose any fees or charges after the Annual Budget has been adopted, then the Council is to<br />
give local public notice <strong>of</strong> its intention to do so and advise the effective date <strong>of</strong> change.<br />
Accordingly, it is recommended that statutory advertising as required by Section 6.19 <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Local Government Act 1995 are undertaken in the Post Newspaper, Council and golf course<br />
website and noticeboards.<br />
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:<br />
The setting <strong>of</strong> fees will have a direct impact on the amount <strong>of</strong> revenue generated at the<br />
WGC. The proposed fees should result in the <strong>Town</strong> achieving its budgeted revenue for<br />
2012/2013.<br />
STRATEGIC DIRECTION:<br />
The proposed review <strong>of</strong> fees and charges supports a number <strong>of</strong> the Priority Areas <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Town</strong>’s 2009-2020 Strategic Plan, namely:-<br />
• Delivery <strong>of</strong> our services; and<br />
• Capacity to Delivery.<br />
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION:<br />
In accordance with Policy Number 1.2.11, community consultation is not required.<br />
However, the proposed new fees and charges will be publicly advertised in the Post<br />
Newspaper, Council and Golf Course websites and noticeboards.<br />
SUMMARY:<br />
The Wembley Golf Course fees and charges are at the top end <strong>of</strong> the metropolitan public<br />
golf course pricing and it is therefore proposed to introduce marginal increases for the period<br />
1 January to 30 June 2013.<br />
A further report will be presented to Council in June 2013 outlining a number <strong>of</strong> alternative<br />
pricing models and strategies, which allows for the implementation <strong>of</strong> a new booking system<br />
and redevelopment decisions at Hamersley GC and Burswood GC.<br />
