PUBLIC NOTICE
Council previously used the Site Value of your property to calculate rates. The Site Value is the value of the land only. Local Government legislation in South Australia has changed, which means that Council will be required to calculate your rates using Capital Value instead of Site Value. Capital Value is the value of the land plus the value of all improvements, such as buildings. Council is also considering moving to rating by Land Use which considers what properties are used for instead of where they are. Rating by Land Use divides the properties in the district into categories that are more simply defined.
The effect of these changes is a distribution of rates across properties in the district. Many properties will have lower rates than in the past, but many will have higher rates. There will also be the opportunity to ask about your property and see the expected changes. One of these opportunities will be via drop-in sessions, the details of these sessions are as follows:
