🧐 YOUR RATES EXPLAINED - (Canning)
The City of Canning are proposing a 🔺 5.75%🔺 rate increase which means an average increase of 🔺$87🔺 per household (depending on where you live).
It's a re-valuation year, which means the higher the value of the gross rental on your property, the more your rates may increase.
In addition, you will also notice a:
🔺 5% increase to the state emergency services levy - nothing to do with the local government, they just collect the $ and pass on to the state
🔺 2.75% increase to the state Waste Levy Fee - again collected by LG and passed on to the state government - the annoying thing about this is it doesn't even go back into waste services, it gets added to the state's coffers! 😡
I don't know about you, but I am disappointed there is no mention of any savings or even a third bin roll out, and despite tens of millions of dollars in election commitments for infrastructure (relieving us rate payers), there is still an increase!
