GARBAGE COLLECTION CHARGES
The Hon. ELISABETH KIRKBY: I ask the Minister for Planning and Minister for Energy, representing the Minister for Local Government and Minister for Cooperatives, a question without notice. Will the Minister inform the House whether it is possible for local councils to impose a charge for garbage collection on land where there is no residence and, therefore, no domestic garbage to be collected? Under what section of the Local Government Act is this charge levied? Does the Government believe that such a charge is warranted?
The Hon. R. J. WEBSTER: I thank the honourable lady for the question and I shall seek the information and provide an answer to her in due course.
