The increase in the average rate of 3.75 per cent in our 2022/23 budget is one of the lowest across metropolitan local governments, and follows a 0.9 per cent increase over the past two financial years. The City’s responsible budget seeks to rebuild the reserves used to support our community during COVID-19, while still supporting the delivery of key services and projects experiencing homelessness, public art projects, a safer communities CCTV initiative and a community infrastructure plan for the Stirling City Centre. Grants will be provided to support business innovation, and sponsorship for major events to attract visitors and create activity in our local centres. In 2022/23, we look forward to seeing progress on several major projects, including the $3.7 million redevelopment of the Terry Tyzack Aquatic Centre outdoor pool area, the renewal of the North Beach Soccer Club, and the design and construction of a new facility for the Carine Cats Ball Club. that will benefit the community. Our budget will support people

Major drainage works for Weaponess Road will be a priority following severe storm and flood damage in 2021, and $600,000 will fund additional solar panel installations as part of the City’s Solar Escalation Program to bring investments in line with achieving our 2030 renewable energy targets. We will also continue to be agile and innovative in our response to our community’s current and emerging needs – including seniors, youth, new migrants, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, multicultural communities and our local clubs, organisations and businesses – to connect them with services that build a resilient, diverse and inclusive community. The City will use the rates collected to enable the community’s vision in Sustainable Stirling 2022-2032, to transform our local places and keep Stirling the City of Choice.

With approximately 223,000 residents, the City of Stirling is the largest local government in Western Australia by population. With our community’s best interests in mind, we strive to meet the changing needs of our residents into the future. F ollowing a major review of our new Strategic Community Plan, the City has recently adopted ‘Sustainable Stirling 2022-2032’ which has been informed by our community and outlines an ambitious and achievable vision to be ‘a sustainable City with a local focus.’ We have made a significant effort this year to identify ways to keep the increase to ratepayers as low as possible, but an increase was unavoidable for the City to maintain current service levels.

Your annual rates are calculated using a Gross Rental Value (GRV) for your property, which is calculated by the Valuer General’s Office.The GRV estimates how much you could expect to receive if you were to rent out your property, and it also allows for outgoings such as rates and other property expenses. The Valuer General (Landgate) provides updated GRV figures to the City every three years. The Council then sets a ‘rate in the dollar’ figure to calculate your annual rates as a percentage of the assessed value depending on whether the property is residential, commercial, industrial or vacant. In 2022/23, the rate in the dollar will increase by 3.75 per cent. For our 96,000 residential ratepayers, the average rate will be $1,202.88, which is an increase of $42.28 on the average amount paid in 2021/22. Property owners have the right to appeal their assessed property value with the Valuer General’s Office within 60 days of the issue of this rates notice. For any questions about your GRV, please phone Landgate on (08) 9273 7373 or visit the Landgate website, www.landgate.wa.gov.au The table below shows differential and minimum rates for 2022/23. Rate in the $ amount Residential $0.059659 Commercial $0.054898 Industrial $0.060546 Vacant $0.082347 General Minimum Rate $893 Parkland Villas (under 36m 2 ) $742 Strata Titled Storage Units $579 Additional information on vacant rates: A higher rate in the dollar for vacant land was introduced in 2020/21 to encourage owners to develop their land to help create vibrant communities and support the local economy. The 2022/23 Budget includes a concession scheme to provide more support to owners while they are undertaking development. A concession was granted on 1 July 2022 to owners of land that has been classified as vacant for less than two years at that date. The concession will have the effect of reducing the rate in the dollar charged from the vacant rate to the relevant differential rate (residential, industrial or commercial). of your property; i.e. GRV x rate in the dollar. The City charges a different rate in the dollar

Inglewood, Leisurepark Balga or Scarborough Beach Pool.

Ways to pay your rates Make paying your rates an easier process with the City’s direct debit (rates smoothing) options. Direct debit via rates smoothing is a convenient way to pay and manage your rates bill by smoothing your rates across smaller, more manageable payments. Payments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly from 26 August 2022 to 9 June 2023, with no additional fees incurred when electing to pay by rates smoothing. With direct debits, you won’t have to remember to pay your rates before the due date. A breakdown of the rates smoothing payment options is included on this year’s rates notice. The City also offers an online direct debit option that enables you to pay your rates in full, in two instalments, four instalments or by a special payment arrangement suitable for your circumstances.
