IPART has released decisions on applications made by eight councils to increase general income above the 1.5% rate peg from 1 July 2017. Increases have been approved for Bellingen, Byron, Inverell and Port Macquarie-Hastings councils.
We have developed Audit Guidelines to provide auditors and their teams with an understanding of IPART’s approach to third party audits and the principles that apply when providing an audit service to IPART or to the businesses regulated by IPART.
This report explains our Determination for Blayney Shire Council’s special variation application for 2012/13. IPART is responsible for setting the amount by which councils can increase their general income, which mainly includes rates income.
