Very quietly, i have realized that the cubic meter volume of water we now are charged for, has increased In July 2017 the meter was installed and a water cost of $1.28 per cubic meter was the charged rate.

Here we are now, June 2022 and the rate has increased, with no transparency or forward notification, to $1.68 per cubic meter. Yes, 40 cents or close to a increase cost per volume of 30%. Yet this product [WATER} is free, by law in the Local Govt Act. How come now we are paying for such a increase. No prior knowledge or fan-fare to let rate payers know? Also remember Councilor Handley , when he installed his water meter, front page of the Daily News; he was to have a report every so often, on the savings it concurred. Haven't seen a squeak on that one! Councillors, are you aware of this cost increase?
Glass fish tank about 40wX40hX30d. Missing a bulb. Excellent condition otherwise.

Sorry but I see the usual high expectation has been set once again. Not only is 2030-2050 ok for our urgent climate change action but the new education target is only 70% of children to attend school. Is it any wonder things are going backwards. I know we have covid but surely the target should be … View moreSorry but I see the usual high expectation has been set once again.
