City of Hobart Fees and Charges

Page 1


Introduction

Fees and Charges are reviewed annually as a component of the City’s annual budget process and has been undertaken in accordance with Council’s Pricing Policy and Guidelines. The purpose of the Pricing Policy and Guidelines is to provide a framework under which Council fees and charges are determined and reviewed, and to ensure fees and charges are set appropriately to ensure the City’s future financial and service sustainability. Pursuant to section 205 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council may impose fees and charges for:

• The use of any property or facility owned, controlled, managed or maintained by the council.

• Services supplied at a person’s request.

• Carrying out work at a person’s request.

• Providing information or materials, or providing copies of, or extracts from, records of the council.

• Any application to the council.

• Any licence, permit, registration or authorisation granted by the council.

• Any other prescribed matter.

Generally, the City provides services that either provide a public or a private benefit to the community. Generally, public services are those from which users cannot be excluded and collecting a fee would be difficult, such as parks and roads and are therefore charged through Council rates. Private goods or services are those that the community can choose to use or not, such as applications for planning and building approvals.

The City is mindful of the effect of its pricing decisions on community usage of particular programs and services. The City’s pricing policy aims to be equitable and socially inclusive by recognising people’s ability to pay and balancing expectation that some services will be subsidised to enable access to that service by most users.
