Land Categories: All rateable land in the shire is required to be classified into one of the categories detailed below. This task was initially undertaken in 1994 and is continued as applications and/or determinations are made. Farmland: (Section 515) Land is to be categorised as farmland if it is a parcel of rateable land valued as one assessment and its dominant use is for farming or agricultural production. Rural residential land is not categorised as farmland.


Residential: (Section 516) Land is to be categorised as residential if it is a parcel of rateable land valued as one assessment and its dominant use is for residential accommodation or rural residential land or if it is vacant land and zoned or otherwise designated for use under an environmental planning instrument for residential purposes. Council has two sub-categories for Residential being:-

(i) Residential – Cowra: Land defined as being within the boundaries of the Cowra township, and;

(ii) Residential - Rural: Land is to be categorised Rural Residential if the land is more than 2 hectares and less than 40 hectares with the primary use being for residential purposes. Mining: (Section 517) Land is to be categorised as mining if it is a parcel of rateable land valued as one assessment and its dominant use is for mining. Business: (Section 518) Land is to be categorised as business if it cannot be categorised as farmland or residential. Caravan parks and manufactured home communities are to be categorised as business.

Pensioner Rebates: In accordance with Section 575 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council provides a rate reduction of 50% of the amount of the rate levy.

Private Works Rate In accordance with Section 67(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, Council may by agreement with the owner or occupier of any private land carry out on the land any kind of work that may lawfully be carried out on the land. The rates proposed to be adopted by Council are set to recover the full estimated cost (including on cost) to Council in providing the works on private land plus a profit margin of 20%.

Proposed Borrowings It is Council’s policy to only borrow to fund capital projects that have a life expectancy beyond the term for repayment of the loan. All loans are secured over the income of the Council.


It is also Council’s policy to invite quotes for the provision of loan funds from lending institutions and the most competitive quotation is accepted. The following loans are proposed for 2009/2010:

Loan Amount

Quarry – Holmwood $ 120,000.00 Saleyards – Effluent Screens $ 150,000.00 Emergency Water Supply $ 1,322,268.00 Sewer Treatment Plant $ 12,000,000.00 Recycling $ 610,000.00

Fees and Charges In accordance with Section 608 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council may charge and recover an approved fee for any service it provides other than a service provided, or proposed to be provided, on an annual basis for which it may make an annual charge under Section 501. A list of the fees proposed to be charged by Council for the financial year ending June 30, 2010 is set out in the attached Schedule of Fees. The fees shown in the Schedule of Fees are arrived at after allowing for normal inflationary growth in the cost of providing these services. However, where the fee is based on the costs of providing the service and those costs increase extraordinarily during the year, Council reserves the right to amend the fees to recover the cost increase. As discussed in recent meetings, there will be an opportunity for consumers to downsize their meters subject to an approval process. Council’s general pricing policy is to ensure that all fees and charges with respect to the goods and services provided by it are levied equitably.

Pricing Policies are adopted as follows: • Fees and charges for Council’s business activities are set in accordance with the prevailing

market to maximise Council’s return; • Fees and charges for community facilities such as swimming pools, sporting fields and

cemeteries are set at what Council considers to be a reasonable cost for the user to bear, the balance being met from general revenues;

• Fees and charges fixed by legislation and regulations such as zoning certificates, building

certificates and building approvals are statutory charges; • Fees and charges such as town planning consents, subdivision fees and dog registrations have

maximum fees prescribed by regulation and Council, at its discretion, adopts amounts at or below the maximum fee prescribed;

• Section 94 contributions are fixed in accordance with the relevant Contribution Plan; • Fees and charges for all other goods and services are fixed on a cost recovery basis.
