Farmers Slam Rates Hike

A great write up in this week's North Central Review on the front page regarding the rates rise in Mitchell Shire (8.62% increase) and Macedon Ranges (14.78%), slugging farmers at the worst possible time - in a drought!

Chair of Protect Our Farms Bill Chisholm and Member Lyndon Arnell have done a great job at highlighting the inequity of farm rates vs residential rates increases and the fact the increases are way above the state’s 2.75 per cent rate cap.

Check the comments below for the shocking comparison of farm vs residential rates changes for Mitchell Shire landholders.

If you are attending the Mitchell Shire Drought session on 16th July, please let Councillors and staff know how you feel about these changes!
