At an Extraordinary Meeting of Council on 13 December 2011, convened to consider a proposal from the Northern Cooperative Meat Company in relation to water pricing and other matters, Council resolved to advertise a proposal to amend the revenue policy by providing the Northern Cooperative Meat Company with water at 70% of the residential users price for 2011/2012 ie 70% of $1.70 = $1.19 per kilolitre. No other changes to the water pricing structure for 2011/2012 are included in this proposal.
The proposed change is on public exhibition from Wednesday 25 January 2012 to 4.30pm Wednesday 22 February 2012. During the exhibition period, submissions from the community can be forwarded to the General Manager, Richmond Valley Council, Locked Bag 10, Casino, 2470.
In order for the community to be fully informed (so as to facilitate informed comment) copies of the minutes from the Council Meeting and an information document are available for inspection at the following locations or available for download from Council’s website at www.richmondvalley.nsw.gov.au
