A Special Rate Variation will impact the general rate amount (ordinary land rate) on your rates notice. It will not affect other service charges such as waste, water, sewer and stormwater. What is being proposed? We have three options we would like you to consider. Each option has a funding increase and includes the NSW state government’s estimated rate peg of 2.5%; it will also have varying impacts on assets and service quality. The Special Rate Variation would apply to four years and raise between $16 million to $28 million to fund infrastructure maintenance and renewal; it would also include Council borrowing $2 million each year, for three years. At the end of the four year period the Special Rate Variation increase would be built into the general rate base and permanently retained. The three options are: Option 1. increase general rates by 7.5% Option 2. increase general rates by 10% Option 3. increase general rates by 12.5% Find out more... We need your feedback on your preferred option to ensure that we deliver services in line with community expectations and remain financially sustainable. You can find out more at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/funding-our-future and complete our Survey. If you’d Th e biennial CSIRO and Bu- like a copy posted, phone our hotline on 6626 7249.

My show is more about presenting the a period of nine years during entertainment side of burlesque, making it more accessible to a wider audience. What is burlesque? And what constitutes an act? I believe burlesque is the art of engaging an audience in the lure of fun, frivolity and sensuality in an exciting surprise package! How does burlesque differ from stripping? Burlesque is an artform that has quite a hierarchy and following among the ages and has been around for centuries. It focuses more on the art than just taking off your clothes. There are burlesque schools all over the world teaching the art and its various techniques. Why do you think burlesque has enjoyed such a comeback? Burlesque has had quite a comeback owing to its current trend of styling in the 50s pin-up girl. Movies such as Burlesque starring Christina Aguilera, and Chicago, have certainly had an impact on the mainstream understanding of burlesque. What surprises do you have in store for your upcoming show? We have so many surprises in store that they are too exciting to mention. We have a piece in the show choreographed by ‘Marko Panzic’ that will knock your stockings off! I cannot wait to perform! Two shows only, Byron Theatre Friday 18 & Saturday 19 November, 7.30pm.
