I pay $850 a year for rates and $150 pa for water rates on my apartment in Southbank, Melbourne.
Don't know the other costs as yet to move in.
Hope this helps.

you get billed monthly for phone here - Ours is not very expensive as we use a phonecard to ring Uk. $30 for 700 plus minutes - about 4 cents a minute. Phonebill is about $80 per month but that includes internet. (not very high usage). Electric is
about $160 for 2 months (due to the pool pump). Gas is about $70 for 3 months. Rates about $700 pa. Not sure on water, not had one yet.

hope this helps. We are in Perth by the way

Rates $936 per half year. Maroochy Shire.

Electricity, house includes pool pump and filter $317 last quarter.

Phone n/a as we also use it for business so its scary.

Having the paperwork in front of me probably wont stop people calling me a liar!
