On 14 May 2015, the State Government announced a new 'Cost of Living Concession' to replace the concessions formerly available, on Council rates, to pensioners, low-income earners and self-funded retirees holding a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.
By changing regulations (in the Government Gazette of 14 May) the State Government has now formally abolished these concessions (of up to $190 for pensioners, and $100 for self-funded retirees) on Council rates. The abolition takes effect from 1 July 2015.
