Last week’s paper noted the challenge Bass Coast Ratepayers and Residents Association has in getting members. I’m not surprised.The association’s style does not appeal to the majority who favour a more balanced and collaborative approach to getting things done. Also, anyone joining must agree to support limiting rate increases to 1.4 times CPI every year no matter what. No-one likes rate increases, but are there never times when the need for infrastructure (e.g., aquatic centres) or community services (e.g., COVID support) would justify higher rates?
