Councils Reject New Assessment Basis in South Australia
Local and town councils across the state roundly rejected a proposed composite assessment method blending annual and land value systems.

The Burra and Clare districts face revenue shortfalls, but adoption of the unimproved land value system is highlighted as a solution seen in Queensland and other states.
