Maybe contribute to high cost of van parks ?

Peter, yes our Council is asking us to support the local businesses - while it does otherwise!

When I added a second toilet 30 odd years ago to our house, I found there was a large fee that they were going to charge. Fortunately for private premises, we could get an exemption.

Our rates are amongst the highest in the state - a couple of years ago, they were by quite a significant amount.

Mmm, interesting. I didn't know you got charged per dunny bowl.

I think that's a good excuse for a protest, at least a major s..t in.

Must be a local Gov thing me reckons, gee, next we will get charged for talking in the street.

Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

It's my understanding that at least in most of Qld your principle place of residence is excluded but most if not all commercial premises including rentals, attract a per pedestal charge. We don't pay extra for the three that we have in our Brissy home.

I have a vague recollection of the private residential exclusion being introduced in about the 1960's or 70's. Shonky unrecorded extra pedestals were not uncommon in those times.

To be fair, shouldn't it be based on the "Bums on seats" not the "Seats for bums" maybe put a counter on the dunny doors (LOL).

RE "...So how to they charge for dump points ? ..."

Probably the same commercial charges mentioned above the ...$900 or the $250 depending on the location ....
