Town Council Considers Unimproved Land Values For Rates
Burra Town Council met to study switching from rental values to unimproved value as the rate base. Dr Marston said finances were poor and urged fair treatment. Analyses showed higher potential revenue from unimproved values versus current rental taxation. The council agreed to seek further information, poll ratepayers if needed, and write to departments for guidance. Nearby councils already use unimproved values.
