Lake Macquarie City Council proposes new stormwater levy, facing criticism as a short-term fix.
Lake Macquarie City Council in Australia is proposing a new stormwater levy to improve infrastructure, charging residential properties an extra $25 annually starting in 2025-2026.
Commercial properties will pay $25 for every 350 square meters, up to $5,000.
The levy aims to generate $2.2 million yearly.
However, Councillor Jason Pauling criticizes it as a "band-aid solution," suggesting the council should better plan its stormwater management instead of implementing a temporary fix.
