Stormwater management service charge implementation monitoring

The Local Government Act 1993 was amended in 2005 to allow councils the option to levy a stormwater management service charge for improved stormwater management. This change was made in recognition of councils’ key role in stormwater management and their need for a sustainable funding source to support their stormwater services.

The Office of Environment and Heritage, with assistance from the Division of Local Government, has undertaken a desktop monitoring project to check on the implementation of the stormwater management service charge. This project report presents the findings from this monitoring project.
