(2) The only difference in calculating the charges compared to other businesses is that caravan park owners have the option of declaring bays that are used long-term for residential purposes, and a special tariff applies for these bays. The balance of the property is charged at the commercial tariff. This optional residential tariff was introduced with the change to user-pays charges for commercial customers and applies to water and sewerage charges in the metropolitan area and to water charges in country areas. Country sewerage charges are based on property valuation, therefore the concession does not apply. (3) The Water Corporation provides only a sewerage service in the Busselton area. Charges are based on the Gross Rental Value, and of the caravan parks in the area only Acacia and Amblin are connected to the sewerage service. Charges for the 2001/2002 year are as follows: Acacia $4,630.10 Amblin $4,078.90
