Average rate increases and rate caps by council . Updated November 3, 2017 — 7.22am first published October 31, 2017 — 11.06am. WA's most expensive rates revealedPeppermint Grove and Halls Creek demand nearly equal rates.
Councils can apply for a higher cap if they can demonstrate community support and a critical need for spending on services or projects that requires a rate rise above the capped amount. more ratepayers or perhaps more high rate paying industries i.e. This includes all the things mentioned in the article the largest cost being the road network. The Toowoomba council levies the second lowest residential rates at an average of $1,043 for six months. Aquatic Facilities. Libraries. Are our rates so high they’re deterring new residents from moving here?Claims like these were made during the South Burnett Regional Council’s recent “Listening Tour”.For the purpose of fair comparison, we looked at the lowest and highest residential rates levied by 19 councils, including not only our immediate neighbours but also the largest councils in the State and most councils on the coast.The results of this study surprised some people because they showed that while none of us like paying rates, the South Burnett compared fairly well.While it is true our region isn’t the cheapest place to pay a rates notice, neither is it the most expensive.Our study also demolished a long-standing myth that areas like the Sunshine Coast have much cheaper rates than we do.That myth arose because in places like Brisbane, Ipswich, Moreton and the Sunshine Coast, water and sewerage services are provided by private companies and are billed separately from Council rates notices.We found that when we added these charges in, the true picture was much different.To see how our region really stacked up, we first compared the South Burnett with our five immediate neighbours (Somerset, Toowoomba, Western Downs, North Burnett and Gympie regional councils) because they have similar geography and face similar issues.Then we compared our rates against the rates paid by Queenslanders living in 10 regions along the coast, because this where most of the State’s population lives outside the south-east corner.And finally, we compared our rates against four of Queensland’s metropolitan councils – Brisbane, Ipswich, Moreton and the Sunshine Coast – to see how we stacked up against the biggest in the State.We carried out this identical study in each of the three succeeding years.So when the Department of Local Government made its 2017-18 rates data available recently, we decided to do the study a fifth time.Wondai (at the lower end) retained last year’s fourth position, and at the higher end Kingaroy’s average residential rates bill of $3257 kept it in fifth place; Kingaroy residents are now paying $33 a year less than if they lived in Toowoomba City.The South Burnett’s position is largely due to the annual $200 road levy, which the Council introduced in 2013 after it lost $1.4 million from its annual road funding grants in 2012.That funding still hasn’t been restored, so the road levy remains in place – though in this year’s Budget, both the former Road Levy and the former Environmental Levy were folded into the general rate.This will remove them as separate line items from future rates notices, but it will also change them from flat fixed charges to costs that will be indexed in future years.That remains the case this year, where at the lower end, the South Burnett came second to Mt Sheridan (Cairns Regional Council), who pipped us by $118 a year, or a little more than $2 a week.At the upper end, the Gold Coast’s Southport and the Cairns suburb of Redlynch were as much as $250 a year cheaper than Kingaroy’s average residential rates, or about $5 a week.But everywhere else on the coast cost more (in Gladstone’s case, quite a lot more) than the South Burnett.Two big reasons for this are that they have much bigger populations to help spread the cost, and most have much smaller road networks to maintain.But the surprise this year was that at the lower end, the South Burnett’s cheapest rates (Wondai) are now $147 a year less than Brisbane (almost $3 per week); and at the higher end, our most expensive residential rates (Kingaroy) were just $67 a year higher than the Sunshine Coast (a little over $1 per week).Maintaining this road network is the single biggest cost the Council faces each year, and road maintenance routinely chews up close to half the Council’s Budget.Since amalgamation in 2008, $230 million has been poured, gravelled or graded into our regional road network, something that looks set to continue indefinitely into the future.Our road network’s maintenance costs are the main reason why our rates are as they are, but they’re not the only one.Credit for the rest goes to our libraries, our swimming pools, our sports fields, our town halls, our parks and gardens, our cemeteries and the many other services the Council operates and maintains.Unlike some other rural regions, the South Burnett has kept nearly all the services it inherited at amalgamation, despite the fact most of these are also a big drain on the public purse.However, these services are important for improving the liveability of our communities – which is what attracts people to buy houses here (and grows the rate base).Our comparisons over the past five years have shown that while we’re not the cheapest or the most expensive place to live in Queensland, the difference between us and both ends of the scale isn’t all that much, either.A very interesting comparison.
Local Government, together with State Government, should immediately promote (via TV, Radio, Social Media) all areas that are within a couple of hours of Brisbane, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts to hopefully target the population of Brisbane (which shall shortly burst at the seams and be hopelessly over-populated) in order to ‘spread’ the populace a bit more evenly. Hunter’s Hill Council imposes the highest rates and waste charges in NSW, levying $2078 in 2013/14. Contact. Rural residents were definitely not coddled, perhaps slapped around would be a more accurate description.Lorna … I acknowledge the statement about being “coddled” was offensive and should not have been published. Both areas also ring in as Perth's most expensive metropolitan suburbs for council rates.Canning only charged its residents $1251.83 to access the council's services in 2017, and It was a similar story in regional WA, with the Shire of Halls Creek was closely followed by the nearby Shire of Wyndham- East Kimberley, and the Shire of Broome. Financial Performance. In 2009, a number of WA regional shire residents were also paying upwards of $2000 for planned infrastructure and upgrades to their region – including locals in Menzies, Sandstone and Cue.These shires have now dropped dramatically in how much their residents pay, and now record some of the lowest figures in regional WA. The council rates at that time were approx $1200 per annum. How the rate cap works.
Rates Comparison. should be doing what we can to build towns so that progress can continue, however the short-sighted leaders we have do nothing, as towns slowly but surely grind to a halt whilst rates, charges etc rise to unexpected levels for folk who moved to ‘the country’ for a quiet and affordable life. Everything has to be paid for and it seems that some people want all the services and more but think someone else should pay for it. Food Safety. Reply.
