Impressive speed by AFCA, solving it in one day! Especially considering no pressing urgency like someone getting turfed out of a home or…

OP I have seen stores just make a call this item will never suit the purchasers requirements so choose to refund, rather than continue…

I had a girl who works for a bank reject me in a bar, is that covered by AFCA? I doubt they can discipline an institution for applying…

Do you mean rejected when applying for a CC, or rejection when using it?

It was actually the Labor Deputy Mayor and all Labor, Independents and Greens who voted for the increase. I thought Labor would be…

Maybe waterfront. Sounds like she would be paying $8k already a year, not hard to imagine for a waterfront with their land values. You…

About 4 metres to the right of the photographer!

If it was $5 no one would expect someone to go to the effort to return it. If it is $100 the OP should inform the sender and let them decide

Agree with JV above. You thought the amount was enough to ask for a refund, do the decent thing and give them the option of picking it up.…

Ted Mack, Gerry Nolan, Jilly Gibson all did. Zoe Baker has another job, funnily enough in law specialising in Local Government Law (not…

To complete the thread, the Council voted for the 87% increase against plenty of objections.…

Huzzzahindeed, NSC definitely determines the percentage it charges for rates based on the VG land value. The takeaway is the Council…

No. Different Council

Hangryuman, two parts to this. The rate rise and minimum rates value rise. Now the agenda released it is planned over two years -…

last rise was last year. North Sydney CBD has probably doubled in size over Covid, they installed a metro station then built much bigger…

I didn't vote for Teals, Labor or fake independents! ( we have all of those) I voted for the councillors who are opposing the increase.

Interesting, this morning one of my neighbours pointed out that our Mayor is paid more per day than Clover Moore. The Lord Mayor is paid…

Sydney swan, you probably remember when Ted Mack refused the Mayoral Mercedes and drove his vintage Citroen, to save costs. You would also…

I think they are safe as the $110k would count under the Community Involvement - for the modest fee of $110k! That said , like you a couple…

The $80K Mayor fee is plus Councillor allowance, I think up to $28k. I agree a better split timewise would be more reasonable. Being a…

Because most expenses or even income go up by 10% or CPI, this is out of line with. Funnily enough everything in my life has gone up in the…

That is the one. They are claiming the pool is only part and they needed to anyway due to cost increases, work backlog, etc. I know they…

haha! I wish I was on the same rate per metre!

mskeggs, for the last three decades since Ted Mack the mayors have all been full time. The pay is low for the job, about $110k, but enough…

MSPaint, NSC is 10.9 km2 so tiny, and well established. They literally have a fleet of electric bikes to get around, as well as cars. The…

I saw your increase and couldn't believe it, then our Council tops it. They also want the minimum rates up, so a bedsit would go from $700…

Alvian that is just what I need! Seems like the NSW version of what Jimmy posted. My whole street is pretty peeved. To be honest you…

$2400 roughly so would be $4488

Next Monday, 10.02.25 my local council, North Sydney Council in NSW is voting to have a rate increase of 87%. I haven't missed a decimal…
