Tipping fees waived

Gosford Council and the State Government have assisted those affected by the recent New Years Day fires by waiving the State Waste Levy and tipping fees.

A report from council stated that the affected areas had been declared a natural disaster and in relation to the clean-up of fire damaged dwellings and outbuildings, the State Government had agreed to waive the State Waste Levy and council was waiving the tipping fees.

The tip fee exemption applies to fire damaged building materials and fire damaged household contents.

Council has written to the property owners affected by the fires, to inform them of this assistance.
