Fees and Charges
REVENUE POLICY
Council has incorporated a Revenue Policy into its annual Operational Plan.
The objectives of Cumberland City Council's Revenue Policy are:
• To meet statutory requirements
• To establish the total revenue required by Council to fund its activities
• To identify the revenue sources available to Council.
Council's Revenue Policy is based on the principles of Efficiency, Effectiveness and Equity, such principles guide the development of Council's Revenue.
Efficiency means to ensure that resources are devoted to the most valuable ends as determined by Council, whilst using as few resources as possible. It generally relates to the cost at which services and facilities desired by the community are delivered or provided.
Effectiveness relates to the satisfaction of stated objectives so that outcomes of decisions and the needs and demands of consumers are taken into consideration. Achievement is demonstrated by the provision of service standards that meet the needs of Council's customers.
Equity refers to ensuring that services are provided to those who need them, even though they may be unable to pay for the particular service. This document provides pricing policies for rates, annual charges and fees for specific services provided by Council.
GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST) DISCLAIMER
Cumberland City Council reserves the right to amend any fees and charges without readvertising with regard to any changes in the GST Legislation.
All efforts have been made to adhere to GST Legislation; however, in the event that GST has been applied incorrectly the relevant fee or charge will be changed by the appropriate amount.
PRICING POLICY
Council may charge and recover fees for any service it provides. For any fees in this document a Pricing Policy, which is made up of a number of principles is used by Council in determining the level of revenue to be raised from a particular revenue source.
These principles are not mutually exclusive; several may be used in determining the appropriate amount.
Pricing Policy Code Description
Full cost recovery FCR
Minimal cost recovery MCR
Prices are determined in order to help ensure that scarce resources are not wasted and can promote more efficient investments in infrastructure, services and personnel.
The pricing for these services is set below the financial cost of providing the service. The fees received are expected to make a minimal contribution towards the cost provision, with the balance being met from general revenues. This balance will be greater than 50% of the overall cost to provide the service. The principles associated with this pricing category may include the following:
• expected to benefit the community as a whole
• benefit of service may be spread across a large number of users including unrelated third parties; and
• objective is to enable maximum access to the service, particularly keeping lower income users in mind.
Market price MP The pricing for these services is expected to recover the full cost of providing the service along with generating an appropriate rate of return. The principles associated with this pricing category may include the following: the service is provided under commercial conditions; and prices will be set to compete with other market competitors, but not to unfairly price others out of the market.
Statutory amount S This is the amount required to be charged by statute. Where this principle applies, Council has no discretionary power to alter the amount.
Substantial cost recovery
Security Deposit/ Bond
SCR
The pricing for these services is set below the financial cost of providing the service. The fees received are expected to make a significant contribution towards the cost provision, with the balance being met from general revenues. This balance will be less than 50% of the overall cost to provide the service. The principles associated with this pricing category will be similar to the ones identified for the Minimal Cost Recovery category, but to a lesser extent.
SD To offset the cost of damages, non-return of Council property and unpaid fees.
PRICING METHODOLOGY
For any fee or charge not specifically stated in Council's Pricing Policy, Fees and Charges 2025-2026, Council determines fees in accordance with a pricing methodology being market rate. Should Council look to implement a fee other than market rate, the proposed new fee would be reported to Council for approval.
PENSIONER REBATES POLICY
Pensioner rate rebates continue to apply with eligible pensioners receiving a mandatory rebate on their Rates and Domestic Waste Management Charge, up to a maximum of $250.
In accordance with Council Policy, a pensioner voluntary rebate of up to $25 per eligible rate payer is also provided. Eligible pensioners who apply, own and occupy a dwelling in which they have resided within the Local Government Area for five continuous years can receive an additional $100 to a maximum voluntary rebate of $125 per financial year.
The maximum rebate for all eligible pensioners will be $375 per financial year (mandatory rebate up to $250, and a voluntary rebate up to $125).
LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1993 - SECTION 68 APPROVALS
Section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993 sets out a range of activities that require Council approval. These include the following:
• Structure or places of public entertainment (Install a manufactured home, moveable dwelling or associated structure on land)
• Water supply, sewerage and stormwater drainage work
• Management of waste in a public place
• Activities or temporary enclosures on community land
• Activities on or over public roads
DRAFT
• Other activities as outlined under s68 (Part F) of the Local Government Act 1993.
STATUTORY FEES
Some fees and charges issued by Council are set by separate statutory bodies Where a revised statutory fee amount is announced after Council has endorsed the fees and charges applicable for the financial year, the fees will be adjusted to reflect the maximum statutory rate
FEE WAIVER CATEGORIES DETERMINED UNDER S.610E OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1993
Section 610E of the Local Government Act 1993 allows Council to waive or reduce a fee, in the following circumstances:

s.610E(1) Category for Fee Waiver or Reduction - Act or Omission of Council resulting in an Unjustified Fee.
Waive or reduce fees when, in the opinion of the General Manager or according to a resolution of the Council, the applicant is incurring a fee as a consequence of an act or omission of the Council that has culminated in or caused the applicant to incur the fee unjustly and which warrants fee waiver or reduction.
s.610E(1) Category for Fee Waiver or Reduction – Personal Hardship
Waive or reduce fees when, in the opinion of the General Manager or according to a resolution of the Council, a fee payer is suffering personal hardship that warrants fee waiver or reduction on compassionate grounds.
