Outstanding restoration fees of $16,164.90 tied to APP2017/0106 at 30-32 Lawrence Street, Peakhurst, have been recommended for write-off by Georges River Council’s Finance and Governance Committee.
The recommendation formed part of the committee’s quarterly budget review for the period ending 30 September 2026. The committee recommended that Council approve the write-off, alongside proposed amendments to the 2026/27 budget and the introduction of a $0.20 fee for each eligible journey by shared micromobility operators in the Georges River local government area.
The committee’s motion was carried unanimously on 9 November, according to the council minutes. The record does not state that Council has subsequently made the final decision on the write-off.
The minutes identify the reference, address and amount, but do not explain what generated the restoration fees, why they remain outstanding or how the write-off would be accounted for if approved.
