The Landscape South Australia (General) Regulations 2020 Part 4 establishes a scheme for recovery of costs by Councils for their contribution to the Landscape Boards. The regulations provide for the reimbursement of establishment, transitional and ongoing costs for the collection of the Regional Landscape Levy. The amount that can be claimed is indexed each year in line with CPI.
