Southgate council passes 2019 budget

Southgate has approved its 2019 budget, including $6.7 million to be raised from taxation.

Ratepayers will see about a 1.2 per cent increase for municipal purposes or an extra $66 on a house assessed at $300,000.

However, when that increase is combined with a drop from Grey County of $24, that $300,000 assessment will see just a $43 increase in taxes in 2019.
