CITY OF PORT PHILLIP RATES
Tuesday, 13 October 2020
Mr NEWBURY (Brighton):
So many across Elwood are doing it tough. The decision by the City of Port Phillip to slug residents with a 2 per cent rate increase has-king hit Elwood ratepayers. As Julie has said:
… these rates are a considerable amount and the lack of compassion to assist at this time is extremely disappointing, not to mention creating unnecessary financial hardship.
Council should spend less time basket weaving and address the significant strain in our community.
