2. Introduction
Your rate notice shows the differential general rate category to which your property belongs. Section 90 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 provides that an owner may object to the categorisation of the land on the sole ground that, having regard to the criteria decided by the local government by which rateable land is categorised, the land should have been included in another rating category.
The notice of objection must:
  • Be given within 30 days after the date of issue of the rate notice, and
  • Be in the form approved by the local government, and
  • Nominate the rating category in which the owner claims the land should be included, and
  • Specify the facts.
Prior to making this objection, owners should refer to the Sunshine Coast Council Differential General Rates table, which includes both the general and specific criteria by which land is categorised contained in council’s 2015/16 Revenue Statement. Please note that section 89(2) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 provides that the making of an objection about the category of the land does not stop the levying and recovery of rates on the land.
