Notes
1. Fees listed above are charged for the year in advance. Licences are
issued annually for the period 1 July to 30 June 2011 for the upcoming
2011/12 registration year.
3. Council has included the licence fees for 2011/12 in this document
because fees and charges amended through the Annual Plan process
would not become effective until after 1 July 2010 and any changes would
therefore not be effective until the following registration year commencing 1
July 2011.
23. A discount applies to the registration fees for applications for food
premises prior to the 1 July each year.
