Objection to Categorisation

By virtue of the provisions of Section 983 of the Local Government Act 1993, you are hereby notified as follows:

  1. the category in which your land is included was identified by the Cassowary Coast Regional Council on the basis of criteria adopted by the Council;
  2. you may object to the categorisation of the land by giving to Council a notice of objection in the prescribed form (copies of which are available at the Shire Office) within 30 days after the date of issue of the rate notice;
  3. the only ground on which you may object is that, having regard to the criteria determined by Council for categorising rateable land, your land should have been included, as at the date of issue of the rate notice, in another of the categories specified in the Table of Land Categories;
  4. the giving of a notice of objection will not, in the meantime, affect the levy and recovery of the rates specified in the rate notice; and
  5. if, because of objection made, your land is included in another category, as at the date of issue of the rate notice, an adjustment of rates will be made.
