More than 6 per cent of all properties in the South Burnett changed hands during the first half of this year, according to data from Council records<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 18, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were 1129 property transfers in the South Burnett Regional Council area between January 1 and June 30 this year.<\/p>\n

Council staff presented the figure at the Finance standing committee meeting on Wednesday in response to a question on notice from Regional Development portfolio chair Cr Kirstie Schumacher.<\/p>\n

With roughly 18,000 properties on Council’s rates books, the turnover represents about 6.3 per cent of all South Burnett properties.<\/p>\n

The meeting also heard many sales were former rental properties which were now occupied by new owners.<\/p>\n

This change has led to a tightening rental market in some parts of the region.<\/p>\n

Council officers will now produce a similar report every six months.<\/p>\n

The cents-in-the-dollar value for rates on commercial land in Murgon is higher now than other towns in the South Burnett due to the equalisation process implemented\u00a0across the region after council amalgamation – but total rates are the same.<\/b><\/p>\n

Wednesday’s committee meeting heard that rates paid on Murgon’s commercial land were among the lowest in the region prior to the 2008 amalgamation.<\/p>\n

In a question on notice, Cr Kathy Duff had asked why commercial land in Murgon had a higher rate-in-the-dollar value than any other town.<\/p>\n

Officers said shortly after amalgamation, Council had begun a multi-year process of equalising rates for similar types of properties in similar rating categories.<\/p>\n

The aim was to ensure the burden of paying for services was shared equally across the region among properties which received the same services.<\/p>\n

In 2008-09, land rated as “Commercial” in the region’s five major towns attracted periodic rates of between $457 and $600, depending on which town the property was located in.<\/p>\n

However, by 2010-11 when the equalisation process ended, all commercially rated land received the same $690 bill.<\/p>\n

As Murgon properties had lower valuations than similar commercial land in other towns, the only way to achieve this was to adjust the cents-in-the-dollar figure.<\/p>\n

Officers noted that during the coming year, Council would be conducting a review of its General Rating categories with the aim of bringing the cents-in-the-dollar figures closer together.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council will submit five sites to the sixth round of the Federal Government’s Mobile Black Spot Program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The five sites are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Boondooma Dam<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Mt Mowbullan in the Bunya Mountains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Moffatdale, the Burnett Highway and Redgate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Malar Road, Kingaroy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Crawford, Memerambi and Wooroolin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            In previous yeasr, the South Burnett Regional Council’s previous applications to the program have resulted in the elimination of 11 former mobile blackspots.<\/p>\n

            These were at Boyneside, Durong, Kumbia, Wattle Camp, Gordonbrook, Maidenwell, Tingoora, Windera, Cooranga North, and parts of Memerambi and Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

            The SBRC’s annual Australia Day Awards presentation ceremony will shift to Nanango next January, and will be held on Sunday, January 23.<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Until this year the ceremony was held on the eve of Australia Day (ie January 25).<\/p>\n

            However, a successful Australia Day Awards presentation held in Wondai on a Sunday afternoon this year has persuaded Councillors to shift the date.<\/p>\n

            At Wednesday’s meeting, Councillors said they believed a Sunday afternoon session allowed more people to attend.<\/p>\n

            The 2022 presentation ceremony will be held at either Nanango High School’s hall or the Nanango Showgrounds.<\/p>\n

            2022 Australia Day Award nomination forms will be available from Council’s Customer Contact Centres later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
