Schedule of Fees & Charges 2010/11

COUNCIL BANK ACCOUNT

The Ashburton District Council banking service provider is the National Bank of New Zealand.

The current name of the account is Ashburton District Council

The current number is 06-0837-00210229-000

IMPORTANT

It is essential that that you include as a reference your rates property number, debtor account number, Building Consent Number, Infringement number or Animal number in order that any payment you make is put to the correct account.

If you wish to pay more than one rate account or a rate account and another type of account such as an animal or sundry debtor account, then you will need to put the word “split” in the reference field along with your name and contact us to advise what accounts the payment applies to.

Notes
The following notes should be read in conjunction with the schedule of fees and charges.

  • While Council has aimed to provide a complete and accurate schedule of charges, if any errors or omissions are identified, charges will be calculated by reference to the appropriate underlying authority/ resolution. Council reserves the right to vary and introduce fees and charges at its discretion.
  • All fees are fixed fees, unless stated as minimum charge and charged at time and cost (T/C).
  • All fees and charges scheduled apply to the 2009/ 10 year only. As revenue in the financial statements has been adjusted for inflation in subsequent years it is likely fees and charges will need to rise in line with these requirements.
  • All fees are inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST), unless otherwise stated.
  • Every effort has been made to ensure the proposed fees are appropriate for the coming year. Council may, however, change fees during the year or introduce new fees if necessary. Any changes necessary are to be made by resolution of Council.
