Queanbeyan Water Rate Increase Foreshadowed
A notification in the New South Wales Government Gazette hints at a water rate rise in Queanbeyan from 2d to 3d in the pound. The council’s debt for water works totals L728 12s 2d with half year repayments and interest, while current revenues from the existing 2d rate are about £2190. Collection difficulties due to absent owners and unclaimed notices reduce actual revenue, making the proposed 3d rate margin narrow and uncertain.
