Council urged to balance Fremantle drainage rates
The Council is urged to commend its efforts to alter drainage charges in Fremantle. Residents in areas with government drains pay 5d per pound annually while others across the road escape. Proposals seek ministerial action to transfer drains to the Council for uniform rates, while assuring non-drainage areas such as Chester Park Whitegum Valley and East Fremantle are not unfairly charged.
