## Resource

Sunshine Coast homeowners brace for another brutal rate hike—this time a 10% jump adding $222 to annual bills, pushing averages over $2,500. With a $7 million deficit, the council is slashing 130 jobs (saving $15M/year), cutting $30M more from the budget, and doubling dog fees. Facing five straight years of deficits, Mayor Rosanna Natoli admits tough choices are needed to avoid collapse. Some councillors propose tourist taxes or selling part of the new HQ to fund parks and libraries. Queensland’s lack of rate caps has sparked calls for reform—residents are tired of the financial squeeze. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
