18.01.2022 Several SA Councils are seeking 0% rate rises for their 2020/21 Budgets. Last night at a publicly streamed forum I said I would like us to consider a 0% rise. If Marion passed a 0% rise that would mean we wouldnt pass on a roughly calculated average rise of $24. Would this assist your household budget? We will publicly consult on our draft budget, but until then tell me what you think by voting in my poll, leaving a comment, sending me a message or email: [email protected]
