I think it’s a fantastic idea in theory. But I’m not actually sure if it’s legal. Local Councils have to operate following laws set down by the State Government, and while I don’t know the details of it, I’m sure there are rules about how rates can be set. Unlike proposed increased rates for unoccupied homes, this feels like something that the state government may not allow under its framework.
