Rates up and still waiting for infrastructure

Central Coast Council's HQ in Wyong

Forum –

My rates bill just came in with an increase of 30 per cent.

This is a jump of $100 per quarter.

Now my bill is for $438 and is double of the 15 per cent increase agreed to by IPART.

The Central Coast Council has done it again with their money grubbing actions.

Any pensioner out there cannot afford $100 jumps in their bills no matter what they are paying for.

I suppose that these increases will finally deliver the infrastructure we are lacking like Kerb and Guttering and the imaginative “future” Storm Water drainage.

I hope I don’t get malaria while waiting for the infrastructure.
