Differential rates for the 2021-2022 financial year
Consultation has concluded
The Town of Victoria Park invites you to share your thoughts on the proposed differential rates and minimum payments for the 2021-2022 financial year.
The proposed rates in the dollar and minimum payments are as follows:
Rating Category
Rate in the dollar
Minimum rates
Residential
$0.0934
$1,159
Non-residential
$0.0988
$1,205
Vacant land
$0.1308
$1,530
This year, we're proposing to introduce a new rating category for vacant land. The new rating category aims to incentivise development and discourage leaving land vacant. The Town believes this will support the local economy and improve the visual amenity of our neighbourhoods.
A document outlining the objects and reasons for the proposed differential rates is available for review via the link below or at the Town’s Administration Building, 99 Shepperton Road, Victoria Park.
How do the proposed differential rates compare to recent years?
In 2019/20, Council adopted a 0% increase in rates. This was followed by a 7.88% rate reduction in 2020/21 to support our community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the worst of the pandemic behind us, the proposed differential rates for 2021/2022 would see a 2% rate increase for residential and non-residential ratepayers – still far below pre-COVID rates.
