Changes to the Local Government Act 1989 in recent years have reduced what service charges Council’s can charge to residents and businesses for the services they provide. In a capped rates environment, and with the rising costs associated with waste and resource recovery services, it is more important than ever to properly understand what costs Councils can recuperate under the legislation and the corresponding Ministerial Good Practice Guidelines.
Join Principal, Kyle Gillan and Lawyer, Gemma Getson for an insight into the considerations required when setting service charges under the Local Government Act 1989.
Topics we will cover:
- Council rates
- Service charges
- Ministerial guidelines
- Reconciling legislation and guidelines
Who should attend?
Those working in the waste and resource recovery sector and in local government. Anyone setting rates or budgets, as well as anyone working in waste/kerbside collections.
