From 1 July 2017, the NSW Government will abolish the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) on insurance policies and replace it with a Fire and Emergency Services Levy (FESL) paid alongside council rates.
The reform will be a fairer way of raising the money that supports our fire and emergency services and volunteers. Previously only insured property owners contributed directly to the fire and emergency services. Under the FESL, all property owners will contribute.
As a ratepayer, you can request that Council reviews your property’s Fire and Emergency Services Levy (FESL) land classification. Complete the Application for Review of Property FESL Classification form.
To find out more, visit the Fire and Emergency Services Levy (FESL) website at http://fesl.nsw.gov.au, call 1300 78 78 72 or download our list of Frequently Asked Questions.
