New South Wales Emergency Services Levy Increase
As of October 1st the NSW Government will apply an increase to the New South Wales Emergency Services Levy (ESL). This will see the NSW Government increase the ESL contribution target for 2020-21.
New South Wales has been hit with fires and floods in 2020 and the ESL contributes to funding for all emergency services including State Emergency Service, Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW Rural Fire Service. These services are our first port of call when disasters hit our communities and rally behind them for months after.
This increase to the ESL will affect Strata Insurance Premiums and these costs are applied by the NSW government not the Insurance companies.
If you have any questions regarding how your Strata Insurance Premiums will be affected, you should contact your claims manager.
