I live in a strata unit. I pay rates, I pay council garbage collection fees.
My dishwasher died. I rang Council re pick up of old one. Vouchers attached to last ratepayer’s notice. No. Rang Council again - different person, gave rate Assessment Number and was told I was not entitled to vouchers because I live in strata. '
"I pay $124" and our body corporate pays $$$…. Well, if you lived in a house, you would pay $400. Helen has fixed a problem for all strata owners in three days. So when we have a broken appliance, strata residents who pay rates, garbage service availability charges, now will receive vouchers annually.
If council is anyway thinking of increasing rates in our Hastings municipality, our elected Hastings Council representatives need to contact Premier Baird so he can send some $$$ our way.
All good money for the city, but country NSW also needs to share in the property tax that is happening. Do not hit us ratepayers with an increase.
