Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) Where the local
government proposes to carry out any sewerage or drainage works which will be
of special benefit to a particular portion only of its district, the local
government may decide that the cost of constructing such works (in so far as
it is not defrayed out of loan moneys) shall be recoverable by action in any
court of competent jurisdiction from the owners of rateable lands situated
within the aforesaid portion of the district, and such moneys shall be
recoverable accordingly: Provided that the respective amounts to be
recoverable from the various owners shall be proportionate to the values of
the rateable lands owned by them respectively within such portion of the
district. No direction or order given or made under this section shall be
subject to appeal or review.
(2) Any such sums
shall be a charge, together with interest at such rate as may be prescribed
(but not exceeded by more than 0.5% the rate of interest payable in respect of
any loan moneys expended on such works) on the premises to which such sum or
sums relate.
