The previous charge per singular vehicle was $15 and has now become $25 [a 66% rise], the other charges for various combinations/ vehicle types have also increased dramatically. A small trailer has gone from $35 to $50, all of which represent exorbitant increases, imposed by stealth it would seem as I saw no previous advice or notice of this intent. I wonder if others have noticed this and what their thoughts may be. With an expected increase in costs for the new rating period of 13 to 16% it makes one wonder, are we really getting value for our hard-earned $$.

"Hello all, I am Gabe! A fun, loveable boy who has stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. I am looking for an experienced owner, who has a suitable property for me to thrive in. I'm always up for a walk or a game to play, and I love to find things to do and keep active. I am looking for a home with teenagers or adults, and a home without cats or small animals. I am happy to play with other active dogs, and love to be social with both people and dogs. If you are interested in me and my goofy personality - chat to the canine team."
