Land tax meeting

CONCERNED residents will meet in Clyde North tomorrow night (Thursday) to discuss a proposed land tax.
The State Government is looking to introduce a Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution Scheme, where landholders in the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) could be charged $80,000 per hectare or $95,000 per hectare when they sell-up.
Landholders in Officer’s fringe are already in the UGB, while in Casey the UGB is set to expand, with 5,500 hectares from Cranbourne East to Clyde being considered for inclusion.
The meeting will be held at Oakwood Riding School, 10 Smiths Lane, Clyde North from 7.30pm.
