8 Levy classes for levy districts generally—Act, s 152I
For each relevant financial year, this section applies in relation to the levy class of a levy district subject to section 8A.
Despite subsection (1AA), the application of this section is not subject to section 8A if the application of section 8A means the levy class of a levy district for a financial year is a higher levy class than the levy class would otherwise be under this section.
Note—
Class A is the highest levy class and class E is the lowest levy class.
The levy class of a levy district for a financial year is class A if, immediately before the financial year, there was in the district a fire station with at least 16 full-time fire officers.
The levy class of a levy district for a financial year is class B if, immediately before the financial year, there was in the district—
a fire station with at least 6 full-time fire officers; and
no fire station with more than 15 full-time fire officers.
The levy class of a levy district for a financial year is class C if, immediately before the financial year, there was in the district—
a fire station with at least 1 full-time fire officer; and
no fire station with more than 5 full-time fire officers.
The levy class of a levy district for a financial year is class D if, immediately before the financial year, there was in the district—
a fire station with at least 1 part-time fire officer; and
no fire station with a full-time fire officer.
The levy class of a levy district for a financial year is class E if the district is not part of a levy class under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4).
To help users of this regulation, for a levy district mentioned in subsections (1) to (4), the levy class of the district is stated in schedule 1 opposite the district.
If there is an inconsistency between subsections (1) to (4) and schedule 1, the subsection prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.
