Service Charges

Council provides essential services to our community which incur a service charge. The following service charges are proposed to be implemented in the 2025-2026 financial year:
- Mobile Garbage Bin Collection Service*
- $315 (+$15.00)
- Community Waste Management System
- $645 (+$30.00) - Vacant Land
- $755 (+$30.00) - Occupied
Council is required to collect a Regional Landscape Levy on all rateable properties within the district. For the 2025-2026 financial year Council is required to collect, on behalf of the Limestone Coast Landscape Board an amount of $729,132 (a 3.2% increase as instructed by the Board).
*For the second time, the Draft 2025-2026 Annual Business Plan and Budget details a proposal to expand the current Mobile Garbage Bin Collection Service to an additional 33 properties. This is to allow Council to continue to grow the capacity of the Service in the broader interests of our community. Further details of the proposal can be found on pages 30 to 31 and in Appendix 3 of the Draft Plan.
