		<description>I read today (11/4/09), yet another article from a Urban Development Institute of Australia 
(UDIA) member, whinging about a proposed increase to Application &amp; Head charges.

Once again they are useing the scare tactic. &quot;Consumers&quot; will have to pay!! So what, we
always do don&#039;t we? 
This is not about &quot;consumers&quot;, rather this is about existing ratepayers, you and me. 
Every dollar the developer dodges OUR COUNCIL has to meet, this means your rates and
mine.

Rates never go down, yes, there have been some adjustments, but overall rates keep
going up. Until such time as developers pay their fair share of costs involved with all
developements this will not change.

Council needs to know they have your support over this issue, write or e-mail them
support their move for fairness and equity. Remmember some one has to pay, it&#039;s either
the developer or YOU.
