Fire Services Act 1990

Where a local government fails to pay an amount payable under section 152S within the required period, the local government, from the day on which the period expires, is liable to pay to the department, for the fund, interest on the amount at the percentage prescribed under a regulation under the City of Brisbane Act 2010 or the Local Government Act 2009 for overdue rates.

Any interest not paid by a local government within the time specified in a written demand for payment given by the commissioner is recoverable, together with expenses of recovery, in a court of competent jurisdiction.
