QUEENSLAND Rate capping petition

Why we need rate capping in All States.

​

In 2016, rate capping was introduced in VIC, and it has constrained local Councils in lifting rates.

​

This has saved MILLIONS of residents from BILLIONS in unfair rate rises. 

​

In this cost of living and housing crisis, we need certainty, that Local Councils cannot continue to gouge us and effectively take what they want. 

​

Rate capping remains the best mechanism to make Councils be financially responsible with public money"

Dean Hurlston - Council Watch President & CEO.

​

If you want to see rate capping introduced in QLD, please sign the petition below and share it with everyone.

​

We have already introduced this in Victoria, now it's QLD's turn.​​​​​​​

Tell the Queensland Parliament YOU want rate capping introduced.

I, the undersigned, want the QLD parliament to:

  • Introduce Ratecapping (in the same way as Victoria)

  • Prevent Councils gouging Queenslanders by excessive rate hikes

  • Stop Councils shifting more costs to "additional service charges"


I want Councils to:

  • Become more efficient in their service delivery costs

  • Focus on providing value for money in their service delivery


Rate capping remains the strongest mechanism the parliament can use to ensure Councils are responsible with public money.

Which QLD Council?

By submitting you agree to sign the petition to introduce rate capping of Council Rates in QLD.
