City of Stonnington

The City of Stonnington is standing up for its residents, businesses, and visitors by opposing the Victorian Government’s expanded Congestion Levy – a new and unfair tax on all paid public car spaces west of Williams Road that will significantly increase parking costs and take millions away from our community. The levy will apply to four multi-deck and five at-grade Council car parks. It is yet another new tax grab by the government costing local ratepayers an estimated $4.1 million per year in its first year alone. Instead of staying in Stonnington to fund local services, this money will go straight to the Victorian State Government, with no clear benefit to our community. Read more: https://ow.ly/wIIJ50Vpkrb
