Just got our rates notice - $2761 on 712m block. Our rateable land value has gone down $20K since settlement. Weird.

We spoke to our builder (MJH) about this on Monday. Apparently QCC is trying to do away with the interim occupancy certificate - hence all the 'other matters' you've mentioned…

Hi Enporched

One thing to be aware of is the cap on the first home owner grants - if the total value of your property (house plus land) is over $650K you…

Agreed - a really good idea to build more community spirit. We won't be going as the movie is a bit young for our 'way too cool for that' teenagers!
