Update from Residents Committee

FINANCE UPDATE FROM
THE RESIDENTS COMMITTEE.
21st JUNE 2020

Water Rates:
We have been in negotiations with Ballina Shire Council on two issues
concerning water rates.
The first is concerning what we thought was an overcharge which was brought
about by individual meter reading occurring at different times to the main

meter read. Yesterday we received an adjustment notice of $12,062.47 credit.

Our second is even more extensive and complex. We are looking at the
comparisons between Residential charges and Business charges as a dollar
comparison, current and proposed, with and without pension rebates, costs of
processing etc. At the moment we are heading in a favourable direction.
But, this is all subject to Palm Lake and Residents Approval to proceed and
Ballina Shire Council agreeing to change the rating category. We will keep you
informed.
Thank you
John Adlington.
