Consultation has concluded
The proposed
budget for 2015-16 has followed this Council’s development of a four year strategic
plan that maps out the principal focuses of our Council until 2018 and beyond. Having
been through a process of tight control on expenditure to improve our financial
situation, Council will have a major focus on ensuring that our assets are maintained
and renewed. Rating processes will be reviewed in the new financial year with a
view to ensuring that our system is as fair and equitable to those amongst us
who struggle to pay.
We have put
into the plan some projects that will lay the foundations for some exciting
developments over the next four years. Council will continue to
responsibly manage our financial situation to ensure that we sustainably
deliver the services the community expects

Business Plan will sustainably deliver on priorities and realise the ambitions

Thanks for your question.
Council (like many other regional Councils) runs the entire waste water management system for towns serviced by the CWMS within our district. This is different to metropolitan Adelaide where SA Water provides the sewerage system.
Your annual service charge pays not only for the periodic pump-out of the septic tanks connected to the scheme, it also covers costs associated with the treatment and disposal of the effluent from our Normanville Waste Water Treatment Plant and the stringent compliance and auditing requirements of the State legislation.
A communal system such as this has benefits to the environment and avoids the impacts of poorly maintained or failing on-site disposal situations, compared with individual arrangements and this is particularly important within closely settled townships.
