Revenue and Rating Strategy 2024

Council provides a range of services and facilities to our local community, and in doing so, must collect revenue to cover the cost of providing these services and facilities. Council’s revenue sources include:

  • Rates and Charges
  • Waste and environmental charges
  • Grants from other levels of Government
  • Statutory Fees and Fines
  • User Fees
  • Cash and non-cash contributions from other parties (i.e. developers, community groups)
  • Interest from investments
  • Sale of assets

Property rates are Council’s single biggest income source, representing approximately half of its income. This strategy explains how the rates are to be raised and apportioned between individual ratepayers.
