      Good Afternoon All

      I am after some information about Special rate variations. Just a quick question, which may seem trivial, however can you apply for a special rate variation for a single category (CBD Business). It has been mentioned having a CBD improvement charge for certain assessments only.
      I will go onto IPART website to find out more information, but just wondering if anyone has or can apply for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have not had a special Rate variation in the 16 years I have been here.
      Thanks
      Megan

        Hi Megan,

        It’s exactly the same process as applying for an SV where the increase would apply for the whole of area.

        In simple terms:

        You decide how much you want in $ terms per year & whether it’s to be permanent or for a specified period. You then consult with the relevant area of the community regarding it. If it’s accepted & Council decides to proceed you calculate the total notional income for the next year & work out what the % increase required is atking into account the announced rate peg. You then complete the relevant IPART documnetation relating to that type of increase & sit back & await IPART’s advice.

        If you need anything further give me a call.
