Re: How much council tax are you paying -Qld??
We're about 30 - 40 mins from the CBD. We aren't in the middle of nowhere or anything
we're about in the middle of the northern suburbs.when I think back to what I paid in the UK its cheap for us lol
we would have been over $3000 a year for a 3 bed mid terrace with no garage etc, in a small village...with no police station......absolutely sod all so I feel this is a good price for what we got...oh and a sea view
Rural here is a lot cheaper....but I prefer where we are

Most people quoting here are living in the prime bits, like us mostly lived in the tourist bits, you pay a lot of rates for beautiful mega million dollar council parks, barbeque areas that need full time staff to constantly clean them, carparks the council vaccumn daily
lovely roads so the tourists dont see the pot holes 10 mins further in. I bet you dont get anything like our rate bills if you lived somewhere like 3 hours west.
Some of the development here costs mega bucks, just bought a house closer to brisbane, the councils building a new pier on the beach right opposite, nothing fancy mind, just an artificial reef under it, 3 undercover areas, mode lighting whatever that is, I know the reef will be lit up at night, upgrade the entire parkland for about a klm long a new promonade, all this is right outside the door, this thread has me worrying now what the hell the rates will be then.
