Because of the amalgamation of Dubbo and Wellington councils, there is a rate path freeze. It means that while rates may change by different amounts for each individual property - based on their land value - on the whole, the money Dubbo Regional Council receives from rates can only be 2.7 per cent higher than 2018/19.
For the 14,066 residential urban properties in Dubbo, the minimum someone will pay for their rates is $660. There are 1902 properties that will be hit with the low bill because their rateable land value is less than $81,127.
