In accordance with Sections 6.33 & 6.36 of the Local Government Act 1995 and the Council’s intention to continue levying differential rates for the 2026/2027 Financial Year.

The 2026/27 budget has been prepared in a challenging financial environment, with rising costs, increasing community expectations, and a growing asset base to maintain. Like many households, the City is facing higher prices for materials, construction, insurance and essential services, which directly impacts the cost of delivering the infrastructure and programs our community relies on every day.

Details of the proposed Minimum Rates and Rate in the Dollar for each rating category are as follows:

Rating Category	Rate in the Dollar (c)	Minimum Rate
Gross Rental Valuation Rating Categories
General GRV	$0.053450	$1,400
Industrial/Commercial GRV	$0.081550	$1,600
Vacant GRV	$0.111000	$1,400
Unimproved Rating Categories
General UV	$0.003270	$1,400
Commercial UV	$0.004115	$1,600
Levies
Waste Avoidance & Resource Recovery (all categories)	$0.00067200	$35.00

A statement of the Objects and Reasons for the proposed rates and minimum payments is available for inspection at Kalamunda.wa.gov.au, the Administration Centre and each of the City’s Libraries.

Submissions by electors or ratepayers, in respect of the Intention to Levy Differential Rates, should be addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, City of Kalamunda, PO Box 42, Kalamunda 6926 or via email to enquiries@kalamunda.wa.gov.au.
