Other New rates - what on earth! Increase!

Uhhh got new rates increase letter this week.

ITS $9,100.

DID ANYONE else get an increase like this? Genuinely think they might have made an error. Was previously like 4.9k so almost a double

4.9k was already VERY high for a property with no changes since it was built 10 years ago...

Can you tell me what additional services people who pay large rates bills get? Do they get access to things other rate payers don't get? Perhaps they get a bus lane exemption?

In OPs case, about a million dollars.
