Rates relief planned for Torrens Street tenants
Relief is planned for some Torrens Street residents facing large rate increases after the Department of the Capital Territory vowed to review general rating levels in Torrens Street. City Manager Tony Blunn said valuations would be adjusted to reflect pure residential use, amid protests from elderly leaseholders over surging unimproved capital values. A 78-year-old lessee said appeals could take years, as the department considers a deferral of redevelopment components in Braddon if similar problems emerge.
