Three detached dwellings – 13 Chiswick Street, Goulburn

Signature Care Section 64 and Section 7.11 Fee Review
Council reviewed contributions by Signature Care for water and wastewater, based on factual evidence provided by this organisation from their other facilities.

In the event the number of beds in this development reduces to below 100 beds, the contribution rates will revert to the standard Water Directorate rate.
