In cases where the amount of fees and charges for service is determined under another Act or regulatory body, Council’s policy is not to determine an amount that is inconsistent with the amount determined under the other Act or regulatory body. All of Council's fees and charges not subject to statutory control are reviewed on an annual basis prior to finalisation of Council's annual operating budget. However, in special circumstances, fees and charges can be reviewed and approved by Council in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993 and Regulations.
