Help save Albany’s Seaside Flats

CWA Albany Seaside Flats Committee is reach- HAGN#341-053654 ing out to the West Australian community to help us restore the A, B and C units and save the additional  ve units from being divested. Quality Parkside Living The original  ats A, B and C units were built by CWA members in 1938 at Middleton Beach to give country children and families an aﬀ ordable Over 55s independent living place to stay in town and to holiday by the sea. Rural families still use them for holidays, and when requiring medical treatment in Albany. Medical students use the units when in Albany for regional training. Aged Care homes have regular group bookings. They were considered so valuable that  ve additional units were added in the 1960s, two of which have disability friendly accommodation. With the increased services that the Albany Health Campus intend to provide in the future CWA hope to restore the units so they continue to provide the service they were built for. The Seaside Flats Committee is raising funds to renovate the original units and achieving this will also save the other units. A total of $280,000 must be raised by May 2021. CWA is asking for your support and donations. Donations can be made at GoFundMe. www. gofundme.com/f/save-the-cwa-albany-seaside-  ats. For further information please contact Anne on 0412 937 641 or email the committee at assf [email protected].

WA Council rates are not directly linked to overall movements in property prices. If they were, they would have skyrocketed over the past 20 years. Many Councils are freezing rates this year, and will only collect the same amount of rates revenue as last year.

Step 1 Step 2 Total rates required to run Rate in dollar calculated the Local Government

Cost of Minus To calculate Divide By the To calculate running non-rate revenue rates revenue the rates combined rental the rate in the Local (grants, fees & required revenue value of all rateable the dollar Government charges, other) required properties
