How we calculate your rates
Rates are our primary means of raising revenue to pay for all the services and infrastructure we provide to the Manningham community.
Each year:
-
We work out how much rate revenue will be required to fund these services and infrastructure.
This amount changes every year.
-
We then divide this amount by the total value of all the properties within our municipality.
This gives us the rate in the dollar amount – currently $0.00151560.
-
The Capital Improved Value of each property is multiplied by the rate in the dollar amount.
This is used to calculate the amount each property owner will pay.
For more information about what your rates help pay for, see our Rates Notice brochure.
The formula used for calculating General Rates
The term General Rates refers to the amount you are charged before any additional charges are applied.
The formula for calculating your General Rates is:
Capital Improved Value x Rate in the dollar = General Rates
For a property where the Capital Improved Value is $1,475,000 the calculations would be:
| Capital Improved Value |
$1,475,000 |
|---|---|
| Rate in the dollar |
$0.00151560 |
| Calculation |
$1,475,000 x $0.00151560 = $2,235.50 |
The Victorian Government's Local Government website has more information about how rates are calculated.
Other charges on your rates notice
In addition to the general rates levy, your rates notice will also include:
- a waste services charge
- the State Government fire services property levy
- any overdue rates (arrears) from previous years.
Why do rates vary between councils?
If you own property in another local government area and wonder why some rates are more or less than others, this is because each council has different budgetary requirements for:
- capital works
- proposed works
- ongoing costs to maintain services in the local government area.
What is rate capping?
The State Government has capped rate increases at 2.75 per cent for 2024/2025. We have elected to apply this 2.75 per cent increase rather than seek an exemption from the cap.
It is important to remember that the cap of 2.75 per cent applies to the overall rate revenue raised by the council and not each individual property.
Most properties will experience rate increases that are slightly lower or higher than 2.75 per cent. If your Valuation has either decreased or increased more than the average, it is likely you will see a rate increase lower or higher than 2.75 per cent.

… work on your property. Property and Development … How to build on or renovate your heritage listed property …
A heritage overlay may affect any building, renovation or maintenance work on your property. The heritage overlay details when you’ll need a planning permit. It also shows the location and the level of heritage controls over a particular heritage place.
You can find out more about the provisions in our planning scheme.
Assess the significance of a property
A statement of significance will accompany a heritage assessment and indicate why the site is important and what to conserve. Documenting what’s significant of a place helps to protect and manage the place appropriately.
Proposals for a planning permit for a heritage place needs to consider the policies and provisions of our planning scheme.
Check to see if a heritage overlay affects your property
Search to see if a heritage overlay affects your property.
When do you need a permit?
When your property has a heritage overlay you’ll need a permit to:
- subdivide or consolidate land
- demolish or remove a building (including part of a building)
- construct a building (including part of a building, or a fence)
- externally alter a building
- construct or carry out works
- construct or display a sign
- externally paint an unpainted surface (refer to note below)
- externally paint a building if the painting constitutes an advertisement.
When do additional controls apply for the heritage overlay
There’ll be some instances where additional controls will apply, such as:
- external paint controls
- internal alteration controls
- control over trees.
Our schedule to the heritage overlay will identify any additional controls.
Making repairs or maintenance on a heritage place
You won’t need a planning permit to carry out routine maintenance and repairs if they don’t change the appearance of the place.
When doing maintenance or repair work, you’ll need to follow the same standards for any:
- details
- specifications
- materials.
If unsure, check with us before doing any repair or maintenance work.
The heritage overlay may not apply to the whole site. Refer to the planning scheme maps online or in our offices.
Demolishing a heritage place
We discourage demolition of a heritage place if it’s individually significant or it contributes to the significance of an area. Demolition will only occur if we find the building structurally unsound.
The statement of significance will say why the place is important.
The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) can review planning permit decisions.
