QLD Settlement Statement – new features

Settlement Statement water access and sewerage billing change

Some QLD Water Authorities have changed their billing method and will now charge in arrears for a specific period of time.  It can be either a total amount or a daily rate for the stated period of time.  The period of time will always be in arrears.

To accommodate the change we have added further billing methods to the Qld Settlement Statement Water Access & Sewerage dialog.

When you create a new Settlement Statement you will see the changes.

Quarterly

  • Existing Quarterly method – there has been no change to this.

Per day in arrears – Charge

  • Enter a charge for both water access and sewerage
  • Enter the From Date and To Date
  • Click OK

Per day in arrears – Daily Rate

  • Enter a daily rate for both water access and for sewerage
  • Enter the From Date and To Date
  • Click OK

(Note:  If you select Per day in arrears, only one of these methods can be chosen.)

Re-order items

It is now possible to re-order items entered.  You can use the new up and down arrows on the right side of dialogs to move items.  Please note however you can only change the order of items within its own set of items, ie – apportionable items can be moved up or down within apportionable items, nonapportionable within non-apportionable etc.

Please see the updated matter information sheet QLD – How to complete a Settlement Statement in LEAP Community for  full instructions and further information on the new features.   To provide feedback please contact content@leap.com.au.
