    Hi Brigitte,

    Do you mean how might you practically implement on the system? You would have to look into your software capabilities for this one. The City of Sydney operates under both the local Government Act and the City of Sydney Act. The latter allows us to cap rate increases on individual assessments, so we have some experience at this but we haven’t needed to use these powers for a few years now.

    Some rating software systems have a rates capping option of some sort. I would recommend approaching your supplier for their advice.
