Moorings installed 1 December to 1 June will incur the full annual charge. Moorings installed from 1 June to 30 November will be charged half of the annual charge. The Council reserves the right to agree to other arrangements in writing.
    • The Council has no obligation to perform any action on any application until the charges for the action have been paid in full; such payment will be required by the 20th of the month following invoice.
    • Where any interim invoice is disputed, work on processing the application will be stopped until the matter is resolved at the discretion of the Manager Consents and Compliance.
    • The option of monthly invoices only, in lieu of initial charges, may be available on strict credit conditions as follows:
  2. The consent process, or Council involvement in the project, is likely to extend over a period in excess of 6 months; and
  3. The total amount for invoices is likely to exceed $5,000; and

Any disputes relating to an invoiced charge must be resolved after the invoice has been paid. Failure to meet these criteria will result in the option of monthly invoices, in lieu of initial charges plus monthly invoices being withdrawn.

The decision on whether to waive the required charge and institute a system of monthly invoicing shall be made by the Manager Consents and Compliance or Group Manager Environmental Management, having regard to the above criteria.

Dog ownership fees

Learn more about Dog ownership fees

Pro-rata dog registration fees

The registration fee is an annual fee. For new dog owners, the fee is charged on a pro rata rate of the yearly fee.

  • If your dog is neutered (proof from vet required), then a $5.00 discount will be applied to your next annual registration fee and for each year after that.
  • A late payment penalty of 50% of the registration fee shall apply to all registrations remaining unpaid on 1 August and all dogs unregistered after 1 August can be impounded and incur a further $300 infringement fee in addition to any registration fee, plus penalty.
  • If an owner voluntarily registers a new pup which is older than three months,

the standard fee payable is that which was due when the pup was three months old.

  • If the owner has been warned or served a seven day notice to register, then the fee is the late fee payable or as otherwise stated on the seven day notice.
  • If an owner has taken ownership of a previously unregistered dog, the fee is that which was due at the time they received the dog (treated as a puppy fee). The dog would also need to be micro-chipped.

Refund information

  • In the event of a dog dying during the current registration year, part of the fee is refundable. The refund is calculated from the month that Council is informed of the dog's death.
  • For example, the owner of a dog dying in December but not notifying Council until February receives the refund due in February.
  • A dog that was registered late and subsequently dies entitles the owner to a refund of the standard fee only.

When refuse (rubbish) is disposed of at the Nelson Waste Recovery Centre it is packed and then transferred to the York Valley landfill.

Part of the cost to dispose of this rubbish are the levies that are paid to the Ministry for the Environment for every tonne of waste that is disposed of at a landfill. These levies have been increased, so the cost to use the landfill has had to increase with it.

This has resulted in an increase to the gate fees for refuse. Because greenwaste does not go to landfill the smaller increase is to cover the increase to the cost of transport.

The opening hours continue to be:

Monday – Saturday

8:00 am – 4:30 pm

Sunday & Public Holidays

10:00am – 4:30pm

Anzac day
