Central Tablelands Water Operational Plan 2014/2015 Part 2

1. Statement of Revenue Policy The County Council model has proven to be a very effective institutional arrangement for the provision of water supply as the governance arrangement of the Council, comprising elected representatives from each of the constituent councils, maintains a close relationship between the community expectations and the policy decisions of the Council.

It is estimated that 2014/2015 will result in an operating deficit of $37,670, after providing for depreciation and amortisation expense of $1,881,144, and an overall budget surplus of $620,562.

Council resolved in 2006/2007 to effect an annual increase of 8% on consumption charges in order to self-fund an extensive capital works programme ($52.84 million in 2010 $ terms) over the next 30 years without the need for loan borrowings or government subsidies. In 2014/2015, Council has ended the annual increase of 8% in the consumption tariff in favour of a reduced annual increase of 5%. Council is not planning to increase the annual availability charge of $200.00 for a standard 20mm service, however, consumption charges are planned to increase by 5% from $2.15kL to $2.25kL. Without an increase in the availability charge, the overall increase for an average residential bill using 191kL over 12 months will be 3%. The increase in consumption charges will be applied to all accounts issued after 1 July 2014.

Also, in 2014/2015 residential and rural consumers will no longer be subject to a 50% increase in the usage charge for consumption in excess of 450kL per annum as the NSW Office of Water (NOW) have ceased to have this as a requirement in their Best Practice Pricing Guidelines.

Council has reviewed the pricing policy for Quandialla, which has been in place since the water supply was constructed in 2002. Since 2002 and in order to fund a 20 year $450,000 loan, consumers in Quandialla have been subject to an annual availability charge of $464.00 and a two stepped tariff charge. Council have decided that Quandialla should no longer have a separate pricing policy and be absorbed into the pricing policy of the remainder of the supply area. Accordingly, the annual availability charge for Quandialla will reduce from $464.00 per year to $200.00 per year and the consumption tariff will change from a two stepped tariff (currently $1.46kL for the first 200kL per quarter and $2.42 after 200kL) to a straight line tariff of $2.25kL.

Council has a dedicated focus on consumer expectations and, through its pricing policy, consumers are receiving a water supply of high quality and reliability and this

is wholly attributable to the pricing policy being able to fund an ongoing programme of infrastructure renewal and upgrade.

Council has embraced Best Practice Pricing of Local Water Utility services as outlined in the NSW Office of Water Best Practice Management of Water Supply and Sewerage Guidelines. In summary, the following pricing regime exists for Central Tablelands Water:

1. A two part pricing policy of an availability (access) charge, determined on the diameter of the meter, and a straight line consumption charge,

2. There are no non-residential cross subsidies. 3. Water accounts are rendered quarterly.

Availability (Access) Charges

The availability charge is calculated by multiplying the charge for a standard 20mm

connection by the flow capacity factor (FCF) listed in the Flow Capacity Table below.

Flow Capacity Table

Diameter of Water Service

20mm 25mm 32mm 40mm 50mm 80mm 100mm

Flow Capacity Factor

1.00 1.5625 2.56 4.00 6.25 16.00 25.00

Developer Charges

Incorporated in Council’s Developer Servicing Plan is the calculated developer charge per Equivalent Tenement (ET) levied on all new developments, or additions/changes to existing developments, supplied from the Lake Rowlands Supply area.

The Section 64 Developer Charge for 2014/2015 is set at $8,557.00 per ET.

Council resolved that the determination of an ET would be in accordance with the Section 64 Determination of Equivalent Tenement Guidelines, published by the NSW Water Directorate and that the charge would be indexed on 1 July each year in accordance with the change in the Consumer Price Index for Sydney in the preceding 12 months to December.

Council has also adopted a capital contribution charge for developments on existing vacant unconnected land, not subject to subdivision (in-fill blocks), within all towns and villages, with the exception of Quandialla. This charge would also be indexed on 1 July each year in accordance with the change in the Consumer Price Index for Sydney in the preceding 12 months to December. The capital contribution charge on existing vacant unconnected land for 2014/2015 is $3,974.00 per ET.

The capital contribution charge for all vacant unbuilt upon land within the existing village of Quandialla remains in accordance with the adopted fees and charges for 2014/2015.
