Housing—rates
(Question No 658)
Mr Coe asked the Treasurer, upon notice, on 15 September 2017:
(1) What is the average rate increase in dollar figures for (a) single dwellings and (b) residential units, for each suburb in the Australian Capital Territory in 2017-18 from 2016-17.
(2) What is the average rate increase in the form of a percentage for (a) single dwellings and (b) residential units, for each suburb in the Australian Capital Territory in 2017-18 from 2016-17.
Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
The average changes in general rates in 2017-18 from 2016-17, in percentage and dollar terms for single dwellings and residential units, for each suburb in the Australian Capital Territory are at Table 1 (where sufficient data is available to ensure privacy of rate payers).
On average, general rates for houses in 2017-18 increased by seven per cent, in line with the 2016 17 Budget commitment for Stage Two tax reforms. The increase for units was higher due to the 2016-17 Budget measure to change the calculation methodology for general rates, to base it on the total Average Unimproved Value (AUV) of the land rather than the individual AUV of the unit. This change took affect from 1 July 2017.
