Rates harmonisation update 19 May 2021

18 May 2021

Council has welcomed the Local Government Amendment Bill 2021 which allows us to harmonise rates over eight years.

The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) has approved Council’s application for a minimum rate. IPART found that Council’s proposal was reasonable and fairly considered the needs and concerns of residents.

For the year 2021-22 the minimum ordinary residential rate approved by IPART is $850.00 and minimum ordinary business rate is $820.
