Rates Remission for a Unit affected by Objective of Policy
The objective of this remission policy is to permit the Council to remit part or whole of the rates charged in any financial year on any land that has been detrimentally affected by erosion, subsidence, submersion, or other calamity.
Conditions and Criteria
The Council may remit the rates charged on a rating unit if:
1. land is detrimentally affected by erosion, subsidence submersion, or other natural calamity;
2. the land is unable to support the activity for which it was used prior to the calamity - for example, a residence or commercial building that is unable to be occupied as a result of a calamity.
Rates remissions will be considered and made only following the receipt of an application by the owner of a qualifying property for the financial year in which the application was received. There will be no backdating of rates remissions.
Rates to be Remitted
Rates remissions (for part or all) may be applied to all rates charged on the qualifying properties.
