REF: AECOGAn1			IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST			Y/R: Rate-payers & Councils

Dear Councillors

 		 IS EVERY COUNCIL DOUBLING ITS RATES OVER NEXT 4 YEARS ?

As pointed out in the last email "The Poms have created some incredible financial schemes 
including Council Carbon Credits", so it is worth understanding how Council Rates are 
calculated as the Australian Local Government Rate system is based on the UK System

First of all it is worth reviewing an article that appeared in the UK on 14 Feb 2023 that stated

"Millions of households in England are facing an increase in their council tax bill from April 
as more than 80 councils (out of a total 114) decide to raise it to the maximum amount."

	A	Australian Council rates to soar in 2023
	B	The Role of the independent Valuer General in each state
	C	How does land value impact rates ?

A	COUNCIL RATES TO SOAR IN 2023

According to an article by Frank CHUNG 16 Jun 2023 iPART (the Independent Pricing and 
Regulatory Tribunal) received applications from 17 NSW Councils to raise additional 
revenue from Rate Payers of which 14 were approved and partially approved 3 others (Att A)

However back in Feb 2023 13 other Councils applied for additional rate increase above the 
allowed limit (Att B)

Perhaps every 6 months different Councils will apply to iPART for additional Rate increase 

While on 20 Jun 2023 Ben Graham wrote "Millions to cop big rate rise as Councils cite 'high 
Inflation and global uncertainty"  (Att C)

B	THE ROLE OF THE INDEPENDENT VALUER GENERAL IN EACH STATE

It appears that each Australian State has a Valuer General who is independent to set 
Council rates similar to the Australian Reserve Bank which is independent from Government 
influence to set Bank Interest rates

The following is an extract is from the NSW Council Watch Website

"Here is council's explanation for how to calculate your rates based on the new 2022 land 
valuations sent out this week from the NSW Valuer General.

"The Ad Valorem rate (estimate) as published in the 2023/24 Draft Operational Plan will be
applied to the land values as supplied by the NSW Valuer General to calculate the rates 
payable" Council said.

"For example, for a Residential property with a Land value of $400,000, the rates payable 
are calculated by multiplying the Residential Ad Valorem Rate of 0.00204849 by $400,000, 
resulting in rates payable of $819.39.

Where this calculation results in an amount that is lower than the Minimum Rate, then the 
Minimum Rate will apply.

"For 2023/24, a Minimum Rate of $590.62 applies," Council said.

Don't forget: Council's annual rates notice includes the ordinary rates applicable to a 
property, and an annual charges for waste.

C	HOW DOES LAND VALUE IMPACT RATES ?

The NSW Valuer General provides independent land values every 3 years. Council must use these 
valuations to calculate rates.

"For 2023/24, Council will apply the 2022 land values," Council said.

"Whilst land valuations have increased significantly in this latest valuation, this does not mean 
a corresponding increases in rates payable.

"This is because Council must maintain its overall rates income to the permitted increase (3.8% 
increase for 2023/24). "

Council said that land value changes may, however, result in changes to individual property rates 
depending on the change value of their land relative to the overall land value change across the 
local government area.

"To assist ratepayers in estimating the rates for 2023/24, Council will be providing a rates 
calculator on its website in the coming weeks," Council said.

In the meantime, if you want to check out your land value increase compared to your neighbours, 
try out the Valuer General's nifty map.

Go to this link, agree to all the conditions and hit "view application" which you'll find on 
the top right hand side.
https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/portal/home/item.html

Hence the key person for property values and council rates appears to be the NSW Valuer 
General

According to Wikipedia between the 14 Mar 1990 - 31 Aug 2003 Peter Cuningham was the 
NSW Valuer General 6 times and replaced by an Acting Valuer General 5 times 

Apparently the work of the NSW Valuer General is scrutinised by the Joint Standing 
Committee on the Office of the Valuer General although it is not documented who and in
 what capacity is on this Joint Standing Committee

NEXT STEPS

Hence Rate-payer concerns when in Aug 2019 the Inner West Council "communicated" 
its "Climate and Renewables Strategy" (On-line version not a PDF file) with figure 7 
which stated each household would pay for 41 Tonnes per annum for "Unsustainable 
Consumption through the supply chain of goods and services they purchase" as well as 
6 Tonnes per annum for each household's own consumption in perpetuity !

Understanding the Council Rate charging program and Carbon Offsets takes a bit of time

It appears that Vehicle insurance companies such as the NRMA are establishing Carbon 
Offset Programs so that different employer types eg Wholesale & Retail employers 
purchase Carbon Offsets for their Motor Vehicle fleets while individuals can Voluntarily 
purchase Carbon Offsets at the moment

NRMA Carbon Offset Program

"Climate change is a huge problem to tackle. Your emissions matter. So, let's do something 
about it.

The NRMA Insurance Carbon Offset Program, supported by Tasman Environmental 
Markets^, helps you balance out your estimated yearly driving emissions* by contributing to 
investments in environmental projects that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the 
atmosphere.

You then enter the year your car was made, the manufacturer and the model and an 
estimate of the number of kilometres driven per annum in 5k estimates of 5k, 10k, 15k or 20k 
per year

The system will then calculate the estimated yearly driving emissions on tonnes, the 
equivalent number of days to lighting the Sydney Harbour Bridge walkway  or the equivalent 
output of a number of trees 

The system then calculates the payment required to offset the number of tonnes at a current 
rate of $ 22.00 per tonne (inclusive of GST)

You can then make a payment by entering your first name, surname and email address and 
making the non-refundable payment to what it appears to be "Tasman Environmental 
Markets"

Before you start offsetting with TEM we need to ask what kind of client you are:.

manufacturing business, has less than 100 employees

or

"Wholesale client": a business which has more than 20 employees, or, if it is a manufacturing 
business, has more than 100 employees

This is because "Australian Carbon Credit Units [ACCU]" and "the Clean Energy Regulator 
[CER] carbon offsets" are regulated financial products. 

TEM is a corporate authorised representative (ABN 97 659 245 011, CAR 001297708) of 
TEM Financial Services Pty Limited (ABN 58 142 268 479, AFSL 430036) and is authorised 
to provide financial services related to carbon markets to wholesale clients only (within the

TEM is not authorised to provide financial services to retail clients, but we are able to sell 
you Voluntary Carbon Market products such as Verified Carbon Units [VCUs] (from 
VERRA) and Voluntary Emission Reductions [VERs] (from Gold Standard).

Cool Fire
Reinstating traditional burning practices has demonstrated a significant reduction in carbon 
emissions along with highly valued social, cultural, environmental and economic benefits for 
Indigenous landowners.

Fighting fire with fire
Certification | ACCU

In the absence of fire management by Aboriginal Traditional Landowners, Arnhem Land in 
the Northern Territory is prone to extreme, devastating wildfires that damage the landscape 
including rock art galleries, cultural sites and biodiversity. 

ALFA - Arnhem Land Fire Abatement is an Aboriginal owned, not-for profit carbon farming 
business, that supports Aboriginal Traditional Owners and rangers to utilise customary fire 
knowledge and skills in tandem with contemporary technology to accomplish highly 
sophisticated landscape scale fire management. 

Their projects deliver significant emissions reductions whilst supporting environmental, 
cultural and social outcomes.

ALFA currently supports Traditional Owners to manage five fire projects across an area of 
over 80,000 km2.

Controlled burns are conducted early in the dry season to reduce fuel on the ground and 
establish a mosaic of natural firebreaks, preventing bigger, hotter and uncontrolled wildfires 
later in the season. 

Using both aerial burning (incendiary pellets dropped from helicopters) and ground burning, 
rangers burn strategically, adding to natural breaks such as moist ground along creeks, 
cliff lines and tracks to create unburned 'compartments' surrounded by burned breaks. 

Rangers manage fire across a range of ecosystems including the escarpments, gorges and 
sandstone heaths of the Arnhem Plateau.

The projects provide employment and training opportunities for local rangers while 
supporting Aboriginal people in returning to, remaining on and managing their country. 

Communities are supported in the preservation and transfer of knowledge, the maintenance 
of Aboriginal languages and the wellbeing of traditional custodians. 

Preventing wildfires also reduces the risk of wildlife loss and protects the areas surrounding 
ancient rock art sites".

	HAS YOUR COUNCIL INCLUDED "BLOCKCHAIN" AS PART OF COUNCIL'S 2020-2030 PLANS ?

Members of the OIC Sustainability Action Network [SAN] thought it may be helpful to
research the impact of Climate Change issues and Carbon Credits in overseas countries

It is interesting to note that on 02 Nov 2022 the Australian Legal firm Gilbert & Tobin 
published an article "Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Regulation 2023 about how Australia's 
approach to Blockchain and Cryptocurrency has, in part, been driven by the Commonwealth 
Government of Australia's (Government) overall approach to the financial technology 
(fintech) sector and its broad support for new and innovative financial services and products"

Over the Christmas and New Year break, OIC members reviewed the 17 Expert Articles and the
31 Countries Legal submissions on the apparent impact of "Blockchain" on those Countries legal 
systems

You may be interesting in reviewing these articles on behalf of your Council as it appears that 
"Blockchain will be implemented in full by 2026"
