Fees and Charges Model
			See other Models
					The Fees and Charges Model has been specifically designed for Queensland councils which provide services directly to the public and want to have these services priced at the appropriate level. Although it complies with the new regulatory fees legislation, it can be used for any administrative fee.
		In addition to the labour cost structure and the time requirements of transactions the model considers the cost structure of the individual council. A key feature of the model is that it only requires an estimate of each transaction processing cost and there is an automatic feature to reconcile the aggregate of these estimates with total resources available. Furthermore, the model enables councils to compare their current or proposed fees, with the fees calculated by the model. The model provides a summary schedule indicating regulatory fees, GST applicability, and summarises the entered transactions for the council. All fees are retained in the model so they can be revised periodically.
		The mode has been extensively road-tested by Beaudesert Shire Council who ‘gave it a hiding’.
