sec.73 Differential general rates
The council may levy general rates that differ for different categories of rateable land in Brisbane. These rates are called differential general rates . For example, the council may decide the amount of the general rates on a parcel of residential land will be more than the general rates on the same size parcel of rural land. However, the differential general rates for a category of rateable land may be the same as the differential general rates for another category of rateable land. If the council makes and levies a differential general rate for rateable land for a financial year, the council must not make and levy a general rate for the land for the year. A differential general rate may be made and levied on a lot under a community titles Act as if it were a parcel of rateable land.
