Most of South Burnett Regional Council’s fees and charges will rise by one per cent on July 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 29, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council’s fees and charges will rise by an average of 1 per cent from July 1.<\/p>\n

At Wednesday’s General Meeting, Councillors approved the 2021-22 Fees and Charges Schedule as part of their Budget preparations.<\/p>\n

The Schedule covers Council charges for providing services such as dog registrations, hall hire, camping fees at Lake Boondooma and Yallakool, swimming pool entry charges etc.<\/p>\n

It also sets fees for building and plumbing services.<\/p>\n

Finance General Manager Susan Jarvis said most charges had risen by CPI.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main exceptions were statutory charges levied by higher levels of government that Council has no control over, and small things such as photocopying fees where a one per cent rise was more trouble than it was worth and\/or primarily impacted pensioners.<\/p>\n

She said Council was a non-profit organisation and its aim was to recover the costs of providing services to the community.<\/p>\n

Council approves its Schedule of Fees and Charges one to two months before the new financial year to allow staff time to update Council’s information and billing systems.<\/p>\n

However, the new charges will not come into effect until July 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
