EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Revenue Services to the Planning &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 2 February 2016 providing an overview of the
January 2016 Rate Levy.


REPORT
This report provides Council with a summary of the January rate levy.

1.                       Levy Summary

Rate notices were issued on the 19 January, with a due date of the 19 February. The gross
amount of the levy was $34.66 million, which comprised of $31.82 million of Council rates
and charges, and $2.84 million for the State Emergency Management Levy. Between July
and January the net decrease in rateable properties was 86, as continued slow growth was
insufficient to offset the amalgamation of 140 properties at 94 Noosa Drive.

                                                                                  Rateable Valuation
