The 2011/12 budget reflects a number of initiatives which Council will undertake over the next 12 months as we continue to provide capital works and service delivery for a growing community. The rate increase provides a balance between the high demand for service delivery and the development of the City and is in accordance with Council’s plan for the next five years.

All rate accounts are calculated by multiplying the properties Gross Rental Value (GRV) by the applicable rate in the dollar supplied by Landgate Valuation Services. Non residential properties in the City Centre, Marina Mixed Use and Additional Use City zones have been additionally charged a specified area rate. The specified area rate was introduced to fund car parking operations which includes land acquisition, parking development, operations, maintenance and any associated financing costs.

Further financial rate budget information may be obtained from the budget principles.

Ratepayers are urged where they face significant changes in their valuation to lodge an objection with Landgate, or contact Landgate customer service area on (08) 9273 7373.
