Redlands residents have been hit with a 4.72 per cent rate rise for the next financial year after Mayor Karen Williams handed down a $396 million budget headlined by two long-term community projects.
Jimboomba rate payers will also see their bills increase, with those on the minimum general rate paying an extra 2.49 per cent each year, or $1.35 per week.
This is lower than other councils in the region, such as Brisbane City Council which announced a 4.93 per cent rate hike in its budget.
Gold Coasters have been slammed with a 4.3 per cent rates rise, which Mayor Tom Tate said equated to an extra $3.11 per week per household.
Scenic Rim Regional Council was contacted several times by the Beaudesert Times but did not disclose a budget date.
