In determining the amount to be charged for goods and services the following factors areconsidered:

● The cost of providing the service● The importance of the service to the community● Prices fixed by the relevant industry body or bodies● Any factors specified in the Local Government regulations● User–pays principle, and● Market prices

All Council's fees and charges are reviewed on an annual basis prior to finalisation of Council'sannual operating budget. However, in special circumstances, fees and charges can be reviewedand approved by Council in accordance with the Local Government Act and Regulations.

The majorconsideration in reviewing fees and charges shall be full or true cost recovery or marketprice on a fee for service (user pays) basis. However, this principle will only be applied where thecost of the service provision can be accurately determined and the end user can be easilyidentified.

Council's Pricing Policy is based on a number of pricing categories.

1. Regulatory fees and charges

These fees are fixed by legislation including the Local Government Act and the Local GovernmentRegulations. Council does not have discretion in the application of these fees and charges unless itis described in the legislation.

2. Full cost recovery

Fees and charges in this category are intended to be provided at no cost to Council. They arecharacterised by services that relate to individuals or individual sectors of the community.Non–regulatory fees in the building and development area are an example.

3. Partial cost recovery

These fees and charges usually have a component of “public benefit” and it is appropriate thatgeneral revenue from rates income is applied to a proportion of the fee or charge. The level ofcost recovery and subsidisation is determined on a case by case basis.

4. Commercial return

Commercial fees and charges are applied where Council provides a competitive or entrepreneurialservice. Principles of competitive neutrality may be applied to these fees and charges. Page 52 of 62 | GTCC Fees & Charges 2016-2017
