Rating Review - Rebalancing our Rating System

Council is reviewing its current rating structure and has developed a proposal that rebalances how rates are distributed across different property types, helping ensure a fair and fit-for-purpose system for the future.

This review is not about increasing overall revenue - it’s about whether the current rating structure still reflects community expectations, is fair and supports long-term financial sustainability.

Starting now: Phase 1 - the community is invited to learn how the rating system works and how rates are calculated.

Coming next: Phase 2 - this is where you’ll have the opportunity to provide direct feedback for Council’s elected members to receive and consider before any final decision making.

Here's how you can participate:

  • Come along to an Information Drop-In Session
  • Prefer a conversation? Contact Council staff on (08) 8558 0200 to arrange a time to discuss.
