During the 2017/18 financial year, Council decided to remove fees for the use of community halls and facilities when being used for community purposes, and that the entry fees into the Scottsdale and Branxholm swimming pools be removed. The waiving of hire fees has continued into the 2019/20 financial year due to Council's strong financial position, along with no increase in fees since the 2015/16 financial year (excluding the Bridport Seaside Caravan Park and statutory fees). Council's 2019/20 Fees and Charges Schedule is available here.
For assistance in completing these forms, or for further information including availability, contact the Council Office on 03 6352 6500.
