Rates and Charges for the Year ending 30th June 2007

The General Rate is based on the unimproved valuation of the respective property as determined by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines.

General rates will be charged at 1.28 cents in the dollar on the unimproved value of the rateable land and Council has set a uniform minimum general rate of $450.00.

The use of three year averaging has been adopted to mitigate the impact of sudden rises in valuations from one year to the next, particularly in the rural areas. The rate in the dollar is set at a level sufficient to cover budgeted operating expenditure, planned asset replacement and planned additional facilities and services, less revenue expected from other sources. A single rate is considered by Council to be the most fair and equitable basis for allocating the cost of Council's services.
