BACKGROUND There are currently 3 properties that have rates

for the outstanding rates arrears. No response has been received by
the third property owner. The following property has rates in
arrears by three or more years, together with a brief history of
the action taken to date.

COMMENT The arrears on Assessment 721 have been subject to debt
recovery for a substantial amount of time. Council engaged Austral
Mercantile to assist with the recovery of the debt and issue the
appropriate claims. The cost of legal fees to date is $1420.44.
Legal fees are on-charged to the debtor and are included in the
amount outstanding. Despite legal action being taken over a number
of years, no payments have been received. It was decided that the
cost of legal action was not being beneficial and to cease current
action until the property has arrears in excess of 3 years, where
recovery action in accordance with section 6.64(1)(b) of the Local
Government Act 1995 could be applied. To recover the rates arrears
Council has the following options; Option 1 – Exercise the
provisions of Section 6.64 of the Local Government Act 1995
• Given the high level of debt, and the amount of time that has
been afforded to enable the ratepayer to either clear or reduce the
debt, it is appropriate to apply the relevant section of the Local
Government Act 1995 empowering the sale of land provision in
relation to unpaid rates and charges.
Option 2 – Exercise the provisions of Section 6.74 of the Local
Government Act 1995
• Apply to the Minister to have the land re-vested in the Crown in
right of the state. Option 3 – Exercise the provisions of Section
6.75 of the Local Government Act 1995
• Make application for the land to be vested in the local
government, It is suggested that Council apply the provisions of
Section 6.64 of the Local Government Act 1995 and commence
proceedings to take possession of the land and sell the land in
respect of the unpaid rates and charges, which are in arrears for a
period of excess of 3 years. It is noted that the property in
question has had a notice pursuant to section 135 of the Health Act
1911 (as amended) - House unfit for habitation issued. STATUTORY
ENVIRONMENT Local Government Act 1995 section 6.64
(1) If any rates or services charges which are due to a local
government in respect of any rateable land have been unpaid for at
least 3 years the local government may, in accordance with the
appropriate provisions of this subdivision take possession of the
land and hold the land as against a person having an estate or
interest in the land and –
a. From time to time lease the land; b. Sell the land; c. Cause the
land to be transferred to the Crown; or d. Cause the land to be
transferred to itself.
(2) On taking possession of any land under this section, the local
government is to give to the
owner of the land such notification as is prescribed and then to
affix on a conspicuous part of the land a notice, in the form or
substantially in the form prescribed.

BACKGROUND The Wheatbelt South (WBS) Road Safety Advisor, Rodney
Thornton has researched the option of crash car trailers being
built to assist the region in promoting road safety messages at
community events and other strategic locations. The WBS Regional
Road Group has been approached in regard to the project, with both
Kulin and Pingelly accepting the role of host Councils for the
trailers for ease of availability and access by other local
governments in the region. In the first instance grant funding will
be applied for to assist with the capital cost of the trailers,
however in the event this funding is not forthcoming it is
envisaged that each of the local governments will contribute to the
capital cost of the trailers and the host local governments will
license, insure and maintain the trailers. A Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the local governments will be required
to ensure a suitable trailer booking policy is adhered to and any
other possible issues regarding the trailers are highlighted to
ensure fairness to all local governments involved. For the purpose
of the grant funding applications all participating local
governments will be required to present a Letter of Support for the
project prior to the end of May 2015. Currently there are a number
of crash car trailers which are registered to the Commissioner of
Police and located in strategic locations. Unfortunately the
Wheatbelt South region does not have access to such trailers for
promotion of road safety messages. COMMENT In the first instance
grant funding is to be applied for by the host Council (Shire of
Kulin) through the Office of Road Safety Funding Program (Closing
Date: 5 June 2015) and the RAC (Closing Date: 29 June 2015) with
assistance from WBS Road Safety Advisor, Rodney Thornton. If this
funding is not successful or there is a funding shortfall each of
the local governments in the WBS will contribute to the capital
cost of the trailers (2) which is envisaged to be approximately
$1,100 per local government or the lesser amount if part funded by
grants (subject to changes due to quotes running past their due
date). The initial license and registration of the trailers are
included in this cost. Ongoing cost to the host local governments
is approximately $235 p.a. per trailer for the licensing (subject
to the weight of the trailer and any increases in licensing costs.
Insurance costs are subject the individual local governments
insurance policy. Maintenance of the trailers is to be carried out
by the host local government.
