Mayor’s Message If there’s a theme for 2022-23 in the Moree Plains, its growth. The rain gauges are full, the harvests are yielding well, community events are back on, shops are busy doing business and we once again welcome tourists to our amazing Shire. Adding to this, the line-up of community and economic-enabling infrastructure for the next financial year planned to be delivered by Council is, to put it simply, impressive. With over $77m dollars worth of capital and non-capital projects to be delivered, it will be a busy year ahead. Also, with Moree SAP planning and Inland Rail construction well underway, we’re already seeing new opportunities and new faces in our community. Your newly elected Council and I are greatly looking forward to rolling up our sleeves and delivering on the commitments presented in this draft Operational Plan and Budget 2022-23. This Plan sets out the actions and budget for the activities, projects and programs Council will undertake over the next financial year. It is the first year of our new draft Delivery Program 2022-26, which is our commitment to delivering on the vision, goals and strategies in our Community Strategic Plan – Our Moree Plains, Our Vision to 2032. This Draft Operational Plan is open for feedback during May, before being adopted by Council in June 2022. I encourage you to take a look at both the Draft Operational Plan and Budget 2022-23 and Draft Delivery Program 2022-26 to see what’s planned for the next four years, and if there’s anything we need to reconsider. On behalf of my fellow Councillors and staff at Council, we look forward to this exciting year ahead for the Moree Plains.

How we developed this plan Our engagement journey This Operational Plan outlines the actions we will take in the 2022/23 financial year to deliver on our shared community vision detailed in our Community Strategic Plan. To develop our vision, we undertook broad community engagement program in early 2022.

What did we ask We asked the community to tell us what they value and love about the Moree Plains Shire. We asked where are we now and where we’d like to be in 10 years. We asked what the challenges are and how we can improve. We asked what actions we can take to make our community better.

What did we hear Where are we now Some said Moree Plains is great, friendly and vibrant. Some said Moree Plains is agricultural focused yet progressive, growing and home. Some said Moree Plains is sad and unsafe. Some said Moree Plains is poorly run, going backwards and stagnant.

Where we’d like to be in 10 years Our community said they’d like Moree Plains to be thriving, vibrant, sustainable and moving forward. To be growing, innovative and full of opportunities. To be safe, inclusive, engaging and welcoming.

Our values Our community values the sense of community and the friendly and caring people. We value the resilience of the community in the face of adversity. Our community values the wide-open spaces, the natural environment, the rivers, the weather and climate. We value the amenity, lifestyle, the parks, the shops and the artesian pools. Our community values the agricultural productivity, the opportunities for work and the cost of living. Our community values the Moree Plains feeling like home.

Our challenges Our community has concerns about crime, drugs, youth disengagement, housing, attracting and retaining new residents and workers, community leadership and the local economy. Our community is concerned about the liveability of our Shire, including recreation opportunities, access to services, visual amenity of spaces and places and cohesiveness of the community. Our community want Council to be more transparent, accountable, and to be better leaders. Our community would like more meaningful communication and to change Council’s corporate culture.

Our Operational Plan How to read the Operational Plan This draft Operational Plan sets out the actions and budget for 2022/23. Each action is linked through our Delivery Program to the Community Strategic Plan and our community’s shared vision for the future. For each of our community themes and goals, we detail:      

the activities Council will take over the next financial year to progress each goal whether that activity is operational, regulatory or project-based the budget for specific projects - either capital or non-capital and the funding source (grants, revenue, loan) how we will measure performance (outputs) the functional area of Council that will deliver the activity the officer role that will deliver the activity.

This is the Goal

This is the Strategy

This is the activity type

This is the Action Council will deliver this financial year

This is the indicator we measure our performance in achieving the Action

This is the This is the due date functional area within Council the Action sits and the officer responsible

This is the funding source and budget (for projects)

Funding source Where the funding source is “grant funded”, grant funding has been secured. Where the funding source is “Subject to successful funding application”, no grant funds have been secured. It may be the case that an application has been made but Council is yet to be notified of its success or alternatively, no appropriate grant funding opportunity has been identified but it is intended for the project to only proceed with grant funding. The annual operational budget broken down for each of the 19 functional areas in delivering the operational, regulatory and project activities is presented at page 76. The overall organisational budget statements are presented at page 79. The budget is reviewed and updated quarterly, as well as before each new financial year.

Budget statements The budget statements or 2022-2023 financial year are provided on the following pages under two rate peg scenarios to be determined by IPART:  

0.7% rate peg 2.28% rate peg.

Budget forecast based on 0.7% rate peg This year IPART has completed its review of the local government rate peg methodology to include population growth. On 10 September 2021 IPART provided the Final Report on this review to the Minister for Local Government, the Hon. Shelley Hancock MP. The Minister has endorsed the new rate peg methodology and has asked IPART to give effect to it in setting the rate peg from the 2022-23 financial year. The new population peg component ranges between 0% and 4.3%. For Moree Plains IPART determined the 2022/2023 rate peg to be 0.7% being 0.7% LGCI and 0.0% population component. This year’s CPI December 2020 to December 2021 is 3.5%. The Office of Local Government (OLG) released a Press Release and Circular to Councils on 7 March 2022 advising of a one-off Additional Special Variation (ASV). This is for the 2022-2023 financial year only. Council applied for the ASV and if successful will adopted the rate peg of 2.28% for the 2022/2023 rating year. IPART will notify councils of its decision no later than 21 June 2022, as such Council has prepared budgets based on both scenarios. The following budgets are based on the rate peg of 0.70%.

Budget forecast based on 2.28% rate peg This year IPART has completed its review of the local government rate peg methodology to include population growth. On 10 September 2021 IPART provided the Final Report on this review to the Minister for Local Government, the Hon. Shelley Hancock MP. The Minister has endorsed the new rate peg methodology and has asked IPART to give effect to it in setting the rate peg from the 2022-23 financial year. The new population peg component ranges between 0% and 4.3%. For Moree Plains IPART determined the 2022/2023 rate peg to be 0.7% being 0.7% LGCI and 0.0% population component. This year’s CPI December 2020 to December 2021 is 3.5%. The Office of Local Government (OLG) released a Press Release and Circular to Councils on 7 March 2022 advising of a one-off Additional Special Variation (ASV). This is for the 2022-2023 financial year only. Council applied for the ASV and if successful will adopted the rate peg of 2.28% for the 2022/2023 rating year. IPART will notify councils of its decision no later than 21 June 2022, as such Council has prepared budgets based on both scenarios. The following budgets are based on the rate peg of 2.28%.

Measuring success Success against our actions in the Operational Plan will be measured in outputs (the things we did). For each community theme, we have identified measures of success that will tell us how we are tracking towards achieving our community goals. The sources for these measures include Council’s internal reporting as well as publications from various agencies and organisations such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare and Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research. We may also, at times, survey our community to understand their perceptions and attitudes, satisfaction and agreement levels with services, facilities or programs.

Reporting and informing Council is responsible for providing regular reports to the community on the progress being made towards achieving the shared community vision. We will also regularly communicate on major priorities and projects through our media and social media channels.

Quarterly Report

Annual Report

Each financial quarter, we report on progress in achieving the actions set out in this Operational Plan and Budget, and progress towards achieving the community goals.

By 30 November following end of the financial year, we report on how well we achieved the actions in this Operational Plan, Delivery Program and progress towards achieving the community goals set out in the Community Strategic Plan.

Quarterly Budget Review Statement

State of the Shire Report

For the first three quarters of the financial year, we report on income and expenditure as set out in this annual Operational Plan and Budget.

At the end of the Council term, we report on the actions in this Delivery Program and progress made towards achieving the community goals set out in the Community Strategic Plan.

Media releases

Social media

We proactively release information about the activities and projects of Council. This information is made available to the media and on our website.

Council actively informs our community about activities and projects as well as operational matters such as road closures, service disruptions, event announcements, job opportunities as well as sharing information from our many partners.

Statement of Revenue Policy This document is prepared in accordance with section 405 of the Local Government Act 1993 (“the Act”). The Statement of Revenue Policy includes the following statements for the financial year 2022/2023: • • • • • • • •

detailed estimate of the Council’s income; each ordinary rate and each special rate to be levied; each charge to be levied; types of fees to be charged by the Council and the amounts of each such fee; Council’s pricing policy with respect to the goods and services provided by it; amount or rates to be charged for carrying out/undertaking by the Council of work on private land; amounts of external borrowings, the sources from where these are to be borrowed, and the means by which these are to be secured; and any other such matters as may be prescribed by the regulations.

In accordance with the Act, any ordinary or special rate to be levied include the following particulars: • • • • •

the base amount of the Ordinary Rate for each category of rate; the ad valorem amount (the amount in the dollar) of the rate; the estimated yield of the rate; in the case of a special rate - the purpose for which the rate is to be levied; and the categories or sub-categories of land in respect of which the Council proposes to levy the rate.

And with respect to each charge to be levied include the following particulars: • • • •

the amount or rate per unit of the charge; the differing amounts for the charge, if relevant; the minimum amount or amounts of the charge, if relevant; and the estimated yield of the charge.

Factors influencing council’s revenue policy The following factors will influence the Council’s revenue and pricing policy with respect to the provision of goods, services and facilities.

Community service obligations The Council’s community service obligation is a fundamental consideration when determining a pricing policy for the delivery of community services and facilities. The Council’s community service obligation is reflected in the pricing structure for the hire and use of services and facilities such as public halls, community centres, public swimming pools, libraries, art gallery, parks, gardens, as well as fields, facilities and venues for sporting, recreation and entertainment activities. Council reviews the levels of community service obligations as they relate to fees and charges for use of Council facilities throughout the Council annually.

Cost recovery •

The principle behind full cost recovery is the recovery of all direct and indirect costs involved in the provision of a service. Full cost attribution will be applied in respect of some services and facilities provided to the Council community for the purpose of enabling the Council to determine:

• • • • •

current and future priorities; service and pricing levels; resource allocation; service delivery planning; and the level of community service obligation.

Draft Operational Plan and Budget 2022-23

Page 102

Distribution of corporate overheads The Council’s 2022/2023 Operational Plan provides for the full distribution of corporate overheads to reflect the real cost of providing services and facilities to the community. The Council’s corporate overheads have been distributed to all services and facilities provided to the community.

The user-pays principle The User-Pays Principle involves pricing the provision of goods, services and facilities that require the user/consumer to pay the actual cost of the service provided. The Council’s pricing policy for water sewer and waste consumption and private works embodies this principle.

Competitive neutrality Competitive Neutrality is one of the principles of National Competition Policy applied throughout Australia at all levels of Government, including Local Government. Competitive neutrality is based on the concept of a “level playing field” for competitors in a market, be they public or private sector competitors. Government business organisations, whether they are Commonwealth, State or Local Government, should operate without net competitive advantages over businesses as a result of their public ownership. When competing in the market place with other private businesses, Council will do so on the basis that it does not utilise its public position to gain an unfair advantage over private businesses that may be in competition with the Council.

Goods and services tax The Federal Government’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) must be applied to non-exempt fees and charges. The current rate of the GST is 10% and is included in the price paid by the recipient of the service. The GST indicators (GST exempt or not) in the list of fees and charges are subject to change at any time from changes that occur in the GST Act and/or regulations.

Interest on Outstanding Rates and Charges In accordance with section 566(3) of the Act, it has been determined that the maximum rate of interest payable on overdue rates and charges for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023 (inclusive) will be 6.0% per annum.

Land values Traditionally, councils receive a new general revaluation every three years from the NSW Department of Finance and Services – Land and Property Information Section (Valuer General’s Office). The latest general valuation dated 1 July 2019 will be used in 2022/2023, following a general revaluation of the council area undertaken by the NSW Valuer General. The total land value to apply for 2022/2023 is approximately $5.17 billion.

Rate pegging increase Rate pegging is a term that is commonly associated with sections 506 and 509 of the Act. This term refers to the practice of limiting the amount of revenue a council can raise from ordinary and special rates by setting a limit on the increase of these rates from previous years. It is important to note that this limit (in the form of a percentage cap) does not apply to an individual’s rate levy but rather the total rate levies raised from ordinary and special rates (excluding water, sewerage and waste charges). The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) are responsible for setting the rate peg each year. This year IPART has completed its review of the local government rate peg methodology to include population growth. The new population peg component ranges between 0% and 4.3%. For Moree Plains IPART determined the 2022/2023 rate peg to be 0.70% being 0.70% LGCI and 0.0% population component. This year’s CPI December 2020 to December 2021 is 3.5%. The Office of Local Government (OLG) released a Press Release and Circular to Councils on 7 March 2022 advising of a one-off Additional Special Variation (ASV). This is for the 2022-2023 financial year only. Council applied for the ASV and if successful will adopted the rate peg of 2.28% for the 2022/2023 rating year. IPART will notify councils of its decision no later than 21 June 2022, as such Council has prepared budgets based on both scenarios.

Rates The major component of a council’s income is generated via the levying of rates. Moree Plains Shire Council is proactive and determined to produce a fair balance between rates levied on the shire’s population and the level of services that can be provided. The amount that is required to be raised from rating is determined after considering Council’s proposed long term budget projections to ensure the long-term financial viability of the funds. An additional consideration is the limitation on rates income that is set by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART). This limitation is known as Rate Pegging and involves a percentage cap on the income raised from ordinary and special rates from one year to another. This year’s current IPART increase is 0.7% or 2.28% if the Additional Special Rate is approved. Section 492 of the Local Government Act 1993 provides two types of rates: • •

Ordinary rates Special rates

Note: Rates and charges are not subject to GST.

The Ordinary Rate By virtue of section 494 of the Act, Council is required to make and levy an ordinary rate for each year on all rateable land in its area. This is a mandatory requirement. Land is rated based upon the use of that land or the zoned use of that land. There are four main rating categories, within which council can create additional sub-categories. • • • • •

The four broad categories provided by Section 493 of the Act are: Residential Farmland Business Mining

All rateable land is classed within one of the four categories unless it is deemed non-rateable, as detailed under section 555 of the Act, such as a church, school or similar institution. Moree Plains Shire Council will be utilising seven (6) rate categories for the 2022/2023 rating year: • Residential o Residential o Residential Rural • Farmland • Business o Business Moree o Business • Mining o Mining

Ad Valorem Rates Council sets Ad Valorem rates that continue the revenue contribution percentage from each category of ordinary rate from previous years and that reflect the land values in those categories. This process is in agreement with the notion that council rates are not a ‘poll tax’. In other words, total tax on land that has a high value must be higher than tax on land that is less valuable in comparison. General rates are levied using a ‘rate in the dollar’ (ad valorem) amount applied to each property’s land value in addition to a base amount payable for each property. The land value information for each property is supplied by the Valuer-General. In using a ‘base rate’ Council is able to reduce the spread between the higher and lower land values and distribute the cost more evenly across in the shire. All properties in the shire are categorised based upon the use of the land and determined as Residential, Business, Farmland or Mining.

Draft Operational Plan and Budget 2022-23

Page 105

Special Rates Council has discretion to levy special rates. Special rates must be made pursuant to section 495 of the Act but may be levied under either section 495 or the provisions of Division 2 of Part 5 of Chapter 15 of the Act. In the former instance, the special rates may be levied for works or services provided or proposed to be provided by council (eg town improvement works benefiting a specific locality, tourism promotion benefiting a particular ratepayer sector) or for other special purposes. It is important to note that these rates will usually apply to specific rating categories or specific rating areas. Special rates are also capable of application across all ratepayers. For example, all ratepayers in a council area could be made subject to a special rate intended to finance a project that will benefit the whole of the council area. Moree Plains Shire Council currently levies one special rate known as Business Intensive.

Special Rate Variations Under section 508 of the Act, councils are permitted to seek a special variation of the Ministerial rate peg for any single year or for a period up to 7 years. This process involves an application from the council to the Minister of Local Government for a set percentage increase in the council’s total ordinary rate revenue. Council currently has two ongoing Special Rate Variations: • •

Road Sustainability Tourism and Economic Development/Industrial Drive

2012/2013 was the final year of the Special Rate Variation, for Road Sustainability (9.25%) however funding raised from the Special Rate Variation period will continue to be allocated to specific road projects.

2010 to 2013 Multiple Year Special Rate Variation Moree Plains Shire Council was successful in its special rate variation application over a four year period between 2010 to 2013. The special rates variation component detailed below equates to the additional expenditure on sealed road networks. Table 5 Special Rate Variation Expenditure

Tourism, Economic Development, and the Industrial Drive Upgrade In 2005/2006 Council was granted a general rate increase by the Minister for Local Government for a total of $270,000. This increase was permanent and will be used to fund the following initiatives: • $117,130 to fund the loan repayments for the Industrial Drive upgrade. o As the loan to fund the Industrial Drive upgrades is a fixed loan, this amount is the annual amount and is set for the life of the loan. • $152,870 to fund various tourism initiatives, festivals, events and promote economic development in the shire of Moree Plains. o The budget for the 2022/2023 Financial Year is $298,350 (or $304,868 – if approved rate peg of 2.28%)

Money that is raised for the above purpose but not expensed in that same year will be placed into a reserve. This ensures that the money raised is only expended on projects that reflect the original intention of the levy increase. Details on expenditure from these funds are detailed each year in the Annual Report.

Charges In accordance with Sections 496, 496A, 501 and 502 of the Act, Council is able to charge for the provision of water, stormwater management, sewer and domestic waste services. The charges levied by Council in relation to these items are explained as follows. Best Practice Pricing and National Competition Policy have had a significant impact on the charges structure of water and sewer. The following pricing policies are in accordance with these methodologies.

Water Charges The level of charges is set to enable Council to provide sufficient funds to operate and maintain a water supply service, to repay existing loans, to minimize the use of loan funds for new capital works and to meet the requirements of Best Practice Pricing and the National Competition Policy. It is also in the best interests of the community and the environment that Council encourages water users to conserve water. In accordance with the Act, water charges are levied upon: • •

Land that is supplied with water from Council mains. Vacant land situated within 225 metres of a Council water main whether or not the property is connected to Council’s water supply provided it is possible to supply water to the property if requested.

The majority of Council's water charging structure is made up of two components, a fixed annual charge for all properties and a consumption charge based on actual water consumed. In 2022/2023 the consumption charge will again consist of a three-tier pricing structure.

(a) Water Availability Charge Under section 501 of the Act, Council levies the following charges: •

• •

One availability charge per annum of $228.00 for each Council connected water meter for residential customers that have a 20mm, 25mm or 32mm connection. Residents with a larger connection will pay an access charge based on the following commercial charges. Commercial premises will be subject to an availability charge based on connection size. The charges are detailed in Table 6. As per Section 501(3) of the Act Council is able to charge each parcel of separately valued vacant land one availability charge ie $228.00. In 2017/2018 council introduced a vacant charge for properties with no meter connected. The availability charge is 50% of the current residential availability charge of $114.00.

Non-Ratable land (pursuant to Sections 555 Local Government Act 1993) is NOT exempt of this charge as the charge is limited to the cost of providing the service to the land (Section 503 (2) of the Local Government Act 1993). Land unable to be connected to a Council water pipe or land further than 225-metres from a Council water pipe will not be subject to a water availability charge. Note: Land outside the 225-metre radius that requires water connection will have to pay the full cost for that connection. This fee is calculated on a case-by-case basis.

Sewerage and Trade Waste Charges In accordance with the Act, Council will levy a charge on all assessments connected to, or capable of being connected to Council’s sewerage service systems. Council has set charges to provide sufficient funds to operate and maintain sewerage services, to re-pay existing loans and to generate additional reserves to provide for capital works and upgrades in the future. As with water charges, Council also has a responsibility to implement the principles of Best Practice Pricing and the National Competition Policy. • • •

In accordance with the Act, sewerage charges are levied upon: Land that is connected to Council’s sewer mains Vacant land situated within 75 metres of a Council sewer main whether the property is connected or not, provided it is possible for the land to be serviced if requested.

Residential Residential sewer charges will consist of one flat tariff of $750.54.

Non-Residential All non-residential properties will be charged based on a two-tier pricing system. Sewer charges will be in accordance with Best Practice Pricing guidelines, which prescribes an availability charge based upon the corresponding water meter connection size multiplied by the Sewerage Discharge Factor and per kilolitre usage charges based on water usage and disposal estimates. Disposal estimates will be based on the type of business and an estimated discharge factor that is listed in the Sewer and Trade Waste Discharge Factor Examples Table 9. To calculate sewerage disposal fees, water consumption is multiplied by the discharge factor of those premises then charged at a rate of 135 cents per kilolitre. The access charges will be as provided in tables 8 and 9.

Trade Waste Charges As a component of Best Practice Pricing, Council will also charge a Trade Waste Discharge fee. This fee is similar to sewer discharge fees but will only apply to non-residential customers who have significant trade waste discharge. The trade waste discharge fee consists of two components: a fixed fee and a usage charge.

Trade Waste Usage Charges To calculate trade waste charges, the water consumption is multiplied by the Trade Waste Discharge Factor (Table 10 on previous page) and then multiplied by the applicable trade waste usage charge as per Council’s Fees and Charges.

Other Water and Sewer Charges Developer Charges Council will levy developer charges for water and sewer in 2022/2023. These charges will be in accordance with a developer service plan. Developer charges apply when a new allotment is created. These new allotments create a future burden on existing infrastructure and under the Best Practice Pricing guidelines that cost must be recognised and recovered. Charges for trade waste and developer charges are detailed in the fees and charges schedule. Developer services charges provide a source of funding for water and sewer infrastructure required due to the increased demand from new urban development. They also provide a pricing signal regarding the cost of urban development and thus encourage less costly forms and areas of development. Councils have the power to levy developer charges for water supply, sewerage and storm-water under section 64 of the Act. To comply with best practice pricing, local water utilities need to implement a Development Servicing Plan (DSP) with commercial water supply and sewerage developer charges in accordance with the above guidelines. This involves: • • • • • •

Calculating the capital cost of assets serving development Calculating the capital charge (capital cost + return on investment) Assessing the reduction amount Preparing draft DSPs Consulting the community and stakeholders, including exhibiting the draft DSPs Adopting developer charges in the final DSPs, after considering the comments received during consultation.

Development Servicing Plans, an Exemption Document or a Policy Document need to be provided to the Ministry for registration by 30 June. Best-practice pricing and developer charges are a pre-requisite to eligibility for financial assistance towards the capital cost of backlog water supply and sewerage infrastructure under the Country Towns Water Supply and Sewerage program. Note: 1 An Local Water Utility (“LWU”) with growth of less than 5 lots/annum may resolve not to levy developer charges. Such an LWU needs to prepare a brief Exemption Document in accordance with the Developer Charges Guidelines. 2 An LWU with growth of 5 or more lots/annum that resolves not to levy developer charges needs to prepare a Policy Document in accordance with the Developer Charges Guidelines. However, such an LWU would fail to comply with best practice.

Draft Operational Plan and Budget 2022-23

Best Practice Pricing The NSW Government encourages best practice pricing for local government water and sewerage utilities. The purpose of best practice pricing is to: • •

Encourage the effective and efficient delivery of water supply and sewerage services To promote sustainable water supply practices and water demand management throughout NSW.

Best Practice Pricing was mandatory from the 1st of July 2004 if councils wished to make a dividend payment from the surplus of a local water utility or sewer business to general revenue. It was also a requirement that best practice pricing be in place for financial assistance under the Country Towns Water Supply and Sewerage (CTWS&S) Program. This program provided funding to councils for public sewer and water infrastructure works in towns and villages to provide a basic level of services to these communities. This program was available until the year 2008. At that point councils were expected to fund all backlog capital works independently. In relation to Moree Plains Shire Council these completed and proposed future works included: • • • • • • • • • •

Boggabilla to Toomelah Pipeline Biniguy Water Supply Ashley Water Supply Water Mains Reticulation Upgrades Water Mains Reticulation Replacements Water Meter Renewals Mungindi Water Treatment Plant Renewal South Moree Bore Field Gwydirville Reservoir Telemetry Upgrades

Best practice pricing presents six compliance criteria to Local Government. These include: • • • • • •

Strategic Business Planning Pricing and Developer Charges Demand Management Drought Management Performance Reporting Integrated Water Cycle Management

Council resolved on the 17/04/2003 (Res 03/07/14) to implement Best Practice Pricing in the 2004/2005 financial year.

Draft Operational Plan and Budget 2022-23

Page 122

Price Guidelines for Best Practice Pricing The following information has been provided from circular No.1 from the Department of Public Works and Services (Ref: TWTR03-005). Appropriate water supply, sewerage and liquid trade waste pricing is fundamental to effective management of water supply and sewerage businesses. Local Water Utilities need to implement appropriate water supply, sewerage and trade waste pricing to comply with the Council of Australian Governments’ (COAG) Strategic Framework for Water Reform and the NSW government’s commitment to National Competition Policy. This process involves: • • • •

• •

Full cost-recovery for water supply and sewerage businesses to ensure sustainability. Charges must be independent of land values. A two-part tariff for water supply, with an appropriate water usage charge per kilolitre and access charges based on the service connection pipe diameter (20mm, 30mm, 100mm, etc.). A uniform annual sewerage bill per residential property independent of land values. A two-part tariff for non-residential sewerage with an appropriate sewer usage charge per kilolitre and access charges based on the size of the water service connection size. The sewerage usage charge per kilolitre is industry specific and is calculated based on water consumption and estimated water disposal into the sewerage system. For example, a bakery store will use the greatest proportion of their water in food preparation preventing that water from entering the sewer system. Whereas a butcher shop will traditionally use the greatest proportion of their water for floor washing, therefore that water is entering the local sewer system. Appropriate trade waste fees and charges for all liquid trade waste dischargers. Community consultation on appropriate new tariff options.

Note: Trade waste and sewer pricing is to reflect the cost that pollution places on the treatment of sewerage and waste. When trade waste and other pollutants enter treatment systems, maintenance and processing costs are increased. The point to be made is that businesses and commercial premises that create trade waste are a direct cause of higher cost generation for Council’s treatment facilities.

Stormwater As per the Stormwater Management Guidelines 2006, stormwater management can be broadly defined as managing the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff from a catchment with the aim of: • • •

minimising stormwater impacts on aquatic ecosystems; minimising flooding impacts; and utilising stormwater as a water resource.

The Act defines a stormwater management service as “a service to manage the quantity or quality, or both, of stormwater that flows off land, and includes a service to manage the re-use of stormwater for any purpose”. Levying a Stormwater Management Service Charge Council will not charge a Stormwater Management Charge in the current financial year. (Nor has it previously levied a stormwater charge). The purpose of the charge is to allow Council the option to raise additional revenue to cover some or all costs of providing new/additional stormwater management services within a catchment, suburbs, town, or local government area (LGA). This is to cover costs additional to those attributed to the level of service provided to the area in previous years, which has been funded by Council’s general income. Council must first adopt a Stormwater Management Plan which includes community consultation during the draft management planning process. (Council currently does not have an adopted Plan). The levy would be charged to all eligible ratepayers i.e. residential and business land owners with a permanent dwelling provided there is a nexus between the works to be completed and the ratepayer. As per the Stormwater Management Guidelines, should Council resolve to apply this charge the maximum charge per assessment would be as follows: Table 11 – Stormwater Charge

Land Type

Charge

Urban Residential

$25.00

Residential Strata

$12.50

Urban Business Land

$25.00 per 350m2 or part thereof

The level of the charge must not exceed the anticipated cost of providing a new/additional stormwater management service to land subject to the charge.

Waste Management Charges Council levies four specific types of annual waste charges:

Domestic Waste Management Service All residential properties containing a single dwelling or strata unit/flat within the collection service areas will be levied a “Domestic Waste Management Charge”, where the service is available. This charge per annum is $345.00 for a 140lt bin. A weekly service is available, and the full annual charge is payable whether or not the service is used each week. Additional weekly services will result in an additional $345.00 being charged for each additional service. This service includes a fortnightly recycling collection service that is provided by the collection of one 240lt yellow recycle bin and a 240lt Green Waste bin, which will be used for organics, such as leaves, kitchen scraps and lawn clippings. Non-strata titled residential units/flats and rural multiple occupancy urban properties that have the recycling and green waste collection services available will be levied an annual charge of $448.80 dependent upon the number of units/flats or rural dwellings contained upon the property. Moree Plains Shire Council currently services the townships of Moree, Mungindi, Boggabilla, Ashley, Gurley, Garah, Boomi, Weemelah, Biniguy, Yarraman and Pallamallawa. Additionally, Council provides waste collection to various outlying areas.

Domestic Waste Management Charge – Vacant This charge is applicable for each parcel of valued vacant ratable land for which the service is available. In 2022/2023 this will be $96.90.

Commercial Waste Charge Properties containing a place of business or industry or where activity other than private residential occupation occurs (excepting caravan and mobile home parks), including properties exempt from the levy of the Ordinary Rate, and who avail themselves of Council’s collection service are charged a Commercial Waste Management Charge of $315.00 per annum. A weekly service is rendered, and the full annual charge is payable whether or not the service is used each week. Additional weekly services will result in an additional $315.00 being charged for each additional service. The business will be provided with one 240lt red bin for garbage and one 240lt yellow bin for recycling. Businesses may also request an Organics (green) bin at a cost of $20.00.

Waste Management Levy The waste management levy was introduced to fund council’s ability to accept and dispose of waste, educate on waste, recycle, provide waste services to rural and village residents, provide the proper provision for hazardous waste disposal, and prevent further littering of Moree Plains Shire. In addition, this levy will contribute towards the cost of maintaining the waste management facility. The waste management levy includes: • • •

A charge of $153.00 to rural ratepayers A charge of $278.00 to urban ratepayers Total yield from the Waste Management levy is estimated to be $1,668,692 for 2022/23.

Page 125

Additional or Upgraded Services Domestic Waste Management Service Upgrade (240lt Red Bin) All urban residential properties containing a single dwelling or strata unit/flat within the collection service areas that have elected or wish to elect to have a large 240lt red waste bin, instead of the smaller 140lt red bin, will pay an additional $75.00. The service will still operate on a weekly basis for garbage collection and recycling and green waste collection will be at a fortnightly interval. The total charge for this service will be $420.00, for all Moree Shire Plains Council ratepayers. 360 Litre Recycle Bin Upgrade A larger 360lt recycle bin may be substituted for the 240lt standard recycling bin at an additional charge of $20.00. Additional Recycling Service Charge Additional 240lt recycling services will be charged $90.00 per additional bin service. Additional 360lt recycling services will be charged $110.00 per additional bin service. Additional Green Bin Service Charge

Additional 240lt organics services will be charged $20.00 per additional bin service.
