The Essential Services Commission of SA (ESCOSA) has delivered a report advising that 5 councils including Onkaparinga have an financial performance that is potentially unsustainable. This advice was given as part of a mandatory four-year scheme as a compromise to rate-capping. I think most rate payers would have preferred the rate-capping option.

They have charged Onkaparinga $154,000 for this advice but it’s up to the council if it wishes to accept the advice or not. It’s only payment of the bill for this advice that is not optional. The charge for this report suddenly seems to have jumped from $52,000 to $154,000. Click the link in the photo below to read why.
