Council levies an annual OSM charge on rates and charges notices which helps fund the OSM program required to manage the risk that onsite sewage management systems pose to human health and the environment. Program services include routine inspections of systems based on risk classification, inspections of voluntary upgrades to systems, administration, and advice/education.
Separate fees will still apply for Section 68 Approval to Install/Alter Systems of Onsite Sewage Management, and inspections of new systems.
Estimated income for On-Site Sewer Management in 2026-27 is $346,964.00. (Sec 608 [2])
