Fees and Charges
GST
The impact of GST on fees and charges is subject to change by legislation and accordingly, if a fee that is shown as being subject to GST is subsequently amended to be not subject to GST, then it will be decreased by the amount of GST. Conversely, if a fee, which is shown as being not subject to GST, becomes subject to GST then the fee will be increased by the amount of GST.
Variations
Fees listed in this Fees and Charges schedule are subject to variation from time to time as deemed appropriate by the General Manager.
Note: An asterisk (*) denotes tests that may be outsourced. Richmond Water Laboratories is unable to state the price charged for these tests due to commercial pricing fluctuations and individual client requirements including the need for Express Service. Clients requiring these tests are invited to contact the Laboratory Manager on (02) 6623 3888 to arrange for a customised quote.
