Your 2009/10 Rates

Council has exercised restraint when formulating the 2009/10 Budget, balancing investment in services and asset renewal with the need to keep rates at a reasonable level.  As a result, rate revenue will increase by 4.5% in the 2009/10 financial year.  

In 2009/10, $68 million or 57.2% of Council’s income is generated through your rates.  Compare this figure to the $139 million Council spends on services, facilities and capital works for the community and you will find that it equates to a 204% return on your investment.

For more information on how your rates are calculated and what services, programs and facilities your rates are use for, read the 2009/10 Rates Brochure.
