I agree whole heartedly. It is a disgrace. The when you contact you local councillor asking for some footpaths so mothers can push their prams and not get bogged in sand, you'd think you were asking for a 20 lane freeway!!!!!
Last year one of one of my valuations jumped from $270K to $680K. I put in an objection, and was sent a new valuation dated OCT02 at $730K.
I have received another assessment in Feb03 with it ALSO DATED OCT02 with a valuation of $1.2M which I will be taxed on in July 03. I dare not object again!!!!!! This is only one of my properties.
Not only do you get slugged with LAND TAX!!!!, your rates are also jacked up due to the new valuations. I cannot see one improvement in the areas my properties are in in the last 5 years.
2 Whacks of the big stick.
Where does this money all go. Oh that's right - terrorist information packs, Brisbane city Godwill foot bridges, New Council Chambers - All the vital things in life. Don't worry about footpaths, street lighting, rubbish bins. I'm sure our Politicians live somewhere else but Australia!!!!!!
I'd back any idea to rectify the current Government trends!!!
