Mick,
Our new Canterbury-Bankstown policy states:
• Council will, in accordance with Sections 548A and 531B of the Act allow the aggregation of the rateable values of separately titled car and/or storage lots to enable a single rate to be levied. Council will aggregate only where:
>the lots are used in conjunction with the unit, by the occupier of the unit;
>the ownership of each lot noted on the certificate of title is exactly the same for each;
>all lots are within the same strata plan, or strata scheme, or the strata plan notes that the lots are used in conjunction with; and
>the lots are not leased out separately.
We have applicants submit a statutory declaration verifying they meet the above conditions.
