Episode Details

Retirees on Mornington Peninsulas retirement villages are advocating for a permanent 20% rates discount, which was previously offered but dropped last year, adding an average of $181 per property. The council is considering making the discount permanent by March, following a bigger strategy review. Residents argue that the peninsulas aging population and villages affordable housing options justify the discount, as they use fewer council services. The council faces budget pressures but will vote on the issue at their March 17th meeting, with residents on fixed pensions emphasizing fairness amid rising living costs.
