- Child care fees up $5 per day
- Expediture on drains remains at $3.5m which doesn’t even cover inflation and cost increases
- GESAC fees up 3.5% (until January, then predictably higher) PLUS the following expenses –$261,000 for legal fees; GESAC plant and equipment – $86,000; Gesac defects rectification $617,320;Gesac refit administration area 1st floor stairwell with 3 consulting rooms for new therapy services $200,000
- Government contribution to the pensioner rebate continues to rise – meaning that Council’s ‘largesse’ diminishes year after year.
- Staff numbers of course keep rising!
- The only REDUCTION in fees applies to some of the rubbish bin size collection.

The cpi is about 2.9% but fees and charges keep going through the roof way above the cpi and it has been happening for years on end. I’m not getting any increased service for my money.

And whats happening with the GESAC liquidated damages claim that was supposed to reduce it costs and debt. All I see are more dollars out the door to fix GESAC.
