2009/10 - Making of Rates |
BACKGROUND
1. The ordinary and special rates exhibited in
the draft Management Plan were based on land valuations used in the 2009/10
rates calculation projection which was undertaken in April. Since April there
have been a number of changes to the rating land valuation database including
changes to the rateability of some properties and the deletion and inclusion of
properties that are subject to valuation changes resulting from subdivision
etc.
2. The changes to valuations have now been
incorporated in the rating land valuation database and the projected rates for
2009/10 re-calculated. This has resulted in some minor changes to rates in the
dollar that will apply in 2009/10, compared to those exhibited in the draft
Management Plan. The total amount of rate income Council will collect remains
unchanged.
ISSUES/OPTIONS/CONSEQUENCES
3. There
are no changes resulting from the updated valuations to the various minimum
rates or base amounts, the Domestic or Commercial Waste Management Charges or
the Stormwater Management Charges.
4. There
is no change to the previously made Business Industrial Centre of Activity No.2
rate.
5. There
is no change to the total estimated rates income budget as a result of these
amendments.
6. The
following table shows the average rates for the various categories and the
variation from those exhibited in the Draft Management Plan.
