Rate cut promise not supported
A PROPOSAL to promise ordinary rate cuts for Frankston residents has been voted down by councillors.
The notice of motion raised by Crs Steven and Liam Hughes offered to “guarantee” a cut of at least one percent on ordinary rates. Councillors voted to reject the plan with a 7-2 vote at council’s 15 February meeting.
Cr Brad Hill told the meeting that “we need to do our due diligence” before deciding on rate cuts.
“My rates come in at around $2600 a year so I would get a discount of around $26. I pay by quarter so I would get a discount of $6.50 per quarter, people aren’t going to notice that on their rates bill. If you tell people they’ve got a discount they’ll probably think it’s a joke,” he said.
