Local Government Bill would reshape taxation and municipal powers
The Labor Caucus approved a Local Government Bill introducing sweeping changes since 1906. It would allow councils to raise rates higher, base subsidies on crown land non payment, permit land sales for unpaid rates after five years, and impose a 10 percent penalty on overdue rates. Government would subsidize municipalities for institutions like asylums. The bill also seeks urban incorporation into shires, tyres tied to weight, and a parliamentary franchise with six months residence.
