About these documents

The draft documents outline Council’s planned services, key project and budgets, including fees and charges for the next financial year and beyond.

The documents also show how these actions work towards the community vision in Our Inner West 2036 – the Inner West Community Strategic Plan.

What else is included in the public exhibition?

The draft Fees and Charges FY2019/20 include proposals for the harmonisation of fees and charges for some services. This is to align and simplify fees across the former Ashfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville areas. These proposals include changes to fees for:

• Sporting grounds hire
• Domestic waste charges and
• Introduction of a Compliance and Enforcement Levy for development applications. This is to offset the cost of ensuring that Council officers are available to take effective action against unlawful activities and enforce legal compliance.
