Topics
Rates and levy revenue
Rates and levies were $1.1 million above budget, attributed to increased water consumption. Rate arrears, including the State Emergency Management Levy, were 4.02% at 30 June 2026 against a target below 5%.
The result indicates stronger-than-expected revenue and provides a snapshot of outstanding rate payments, but no new rate increase was adopted in the extracted material.
Fees, charges and development activity
Fees and charges were $18.4 million above budget, including higher private works, development, water infrastructure, planning and commercial waste income.
Higher activity and demand are contributing to Council revenue and may indicate increased development, construction and waste-service use.
Greenmount Water Treatment Plant contract
The Greenmount Water Treatment Plant contract award was considered in a confidential session because it involved commercial negotiations. The preferred tenderer was not identified in the public minutes.
The project may affect water infrastructure and service delivery in the four-town supply area, but cost and contractor details were not disclosed.
Fluoridation of treated water
The resolution adds design and construction of a fluoride dosing plant to the project and approves fluoridation of treated water produced at the plant.
Residents of Cambooya, Greenmount, Nobby and Clifton are the communities specifically identified as receiving the treated water.
