Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner announced last night that Brisbane ratepayers will face an average increase of 2.5% after the 2019 and 2020 budget is handed down on Wednesday.

 

The council’s $3.1 billion budget will retain last years 2.5% average increase for owner-occupied properties, or $40 a year.

 

This years budget will focus on infrastructure and lifestyle with a new platform of green space and parklands.
