How rates are calculated
Mayor's 2020-21 budget message
The cornerstone of this budget is the average six per cent reduction in rates payable for all ratepayers across our City.
2020 will go down as one of the most extraordinary years most of us have ever lived through.
The City’s 2020–21 budget has been prepared in direct response to this unprecedented situation. The strong position that the City of Subiaco is currently in allows us the flexibility to make this year’s budget address some of the real and significant issues our community faces.
