I’m not sure that the possible move to CIV is quite that simplistic.
My understanding is that ALL properties of the same value would make the same rating contribution whether they be houses or units. Why shouldn’t they?
Also I’m not sure that MUD’s etc could be captured in a proposed SP sub category however CIV would capture them. The concept of the ability for rating by occupancy has been discarded from my readings & discussions with authorities.
In regards to business properties major shopping centres, to the best of my knowledge, have minimal if any LV increase each cycle, yet we read in the papers the enormous values they are sold for. Under the current rating structure if Councils don’t subcategorise them their rating contribution decreases each GVal. Again why shouldn’t their capacity to pay be recognised?
