Community Service Obligation refers to the level of Council’s commitment to social objectives within its Region. In order to maintain fair competition it is important that these ‘non-commercial’ activities provided by local government businesses are identified and appropriately costed. Under National Competition Policy these activities are called ‘Community Service Obligations’. National Competition Policy requires that the Commonwealth Government make annual ‘competition payments’ to the States and Territories. The payments recognise that the economic growth brought about by competition reforms provide tangible financial dividends to the Commonwealth. In New South Wales these payments are not returned to Local Government. Therefore it is important to: x Clearly identify any Community Service Obligations x Accurately measure the full cost of provision x Decide upon an appropriate funding mechanism x Fully disclose Community Service Obligations in policy statements, legislation and financial reporting. The Schedule of Fees and Charges identifies those charges that include a Community Service Obligation. The services are listed in the tables below. Fees for Service are grouped alphabetically. 2013/14 Annual Operational Plan – Revenue Policy and Schedule of Fees and Charges, June 2013 page 39 Keychange – Setting the Tune for 2023 Schedule of
