It's not a bad time to be asking this sort of question at the moment, with the council facing 'challenging' budgets, and peoples jobs and livelihoods on the line due to restructuring and redundancy. I'm not a great fan of the torbay gov website - it's about as intuitive as a brick, and contains little useful information. That's not necessarily the fault of the developers of the site (and maintainers) more to do with the RI-RO principles that seems prevalent in most local governments. In conclusion: to quote the famous song (and although perhaps it should have been) It wasn't me!
