Ipswich Mayor PAUL PISASALE has this morning handed down a $450M budget he says will provide a solid foundation to deliver infrastructure to cater for the city's future growth. Category 1 residential owner occupiers will receive an average general rate increase of 2.03%. Cr Pisasale says “The net average increase for residential owner occupiers for all council services, including the State Government fire levy, wheelie bins and environmental levy, is 3.95% or $1.07 per week." "Ipswich’s rates increase would have been just 2.13% or 58 cents per week without the carbon tax." “Overall this tax adds approximately $25.55 to each ratepayer’s yearly rates bill.” In other major announcements $120M has been allocated on councils rebuilding program following last years devastating floods including $10M to be spent on rebuilding Colleges Crossing. |
