Proposed Rates 2023 -2024
At an Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 16 May 2023, the City of Canning Council considered its proposed differential rates for the financial year
2023-2024.
The proposed rates have been based on planned projects and services the City will deliver to the community in 2023-2024.
At a Special Council Meeting held on 10 May 2021, a new set of parameters were adopted for the City's Long Term Financial Plan 2021-2031.
These included a plan to restore the City to a sustainable financial position over the next three years, by lifting revenue and reducing expenditure, with year 2023-2024 being the third year of this plan.
The proposed rates increase for 2023-2024, as outlined below, is part of a newly adopted three-year plan to restore the City’s long-term financial position.
Rating Category | Rate in a Dollar ($) | Minimum Rate ($) * | Proposed Rate Increase (%) | Average Rate Increase ($) |
Residential Improved | 0.05409 | $1,002 | 4.65% | $60 (non-minimum) |
Non-Residential Improved | 0.06042 | $1,002 | 4.65% | ** |
Unimproved | 0.09209 | $1,002 | 4.65% | $74.70 (non-minimum) |
* The increase in minimum category across all rating category is $50 **There is a much wider variation in the nature, size and industry grouping of these businesses, which does not lend this to consideration of ‘average’ values for non-residential improved category. | ||||
