The following annual charge is in addition to your rates and are shown on your rates notices as they apply to your specific property.
Emergency Services Levy (ESL) - State Government Charge
A compulsory charge for all property owners issued by the State Government. The levy is used to cover the cost of providing emergency services across the State. For more information view the Department of Fire and Emergency Services ESL flyer.
Specified Area Rates
Some areas of the City pay an additional rate over and above the general rates payable by others. In return, these residents receive a higher level of park and infrastructure maintenance than the City provides to other parts of the district. It is considered that the ratepayers and residents of the area benefit from the additional works and have better access to the facilities affected.
Pool Inspection Fee
An annual swimming pool inspection fee may appear on your notice if you have a swimming pool or spa. This covers the cost of a compulsory pool fence inspection every four years at your property. The 2024-2025 annual charge is $56.03.
