Forum –
I found the article about the de-merger interesting but it was just a pity the poll wasn’t answered by more people.
I wonder if the information on my recent rates notice would have made a difference!
My last quarterly payment of rates for 2020-2021 was $325.
Our next 2021-2022 quarterly payment has shot up to $445!
[A] 37 per cent increase!
I intend to send a payment next week for $373 which includes a 15 per cent increase and wait for a reply.
Being a Pensioner, we get a discount off of about one per cent every year.
The current inflation rate is about 1.5 per cent, so how does [Council] think we are going to manage a 37% increase?
Back to your article …let’s have a de-merger now!
