Glenelg Shire Rating Forum

Following Glenelg Shire’s attempt to increase farm rates in 2021, the Council is now proposing to introduce a farm differential rate at the request of the VFF and the farming community. Preliminary analysis undertaken by the VFF suggests the proposal would result in a 20% increase to rates for all ratepayers across the shire.

VFF Senior Policy Advisor Charles Everist will share insights into the proposal, what it means for your business and community, and how Council can set a fairer rating strategy.

The forum is also an opportunity for you to give direct feedback to help VFF develop our local plan of action. We are also encouraging farmers to put forward a submission to Council by 25 February 2022 and will share advice on the best way to do this.

This event is open to all farmers in the Glenelg Shire to join.
