How we calculate your rates
Rates are our primary means of raising revenue to pay for all the services and infrastructure we provide to the Manningham community.
Each year:
-
We work out how much rate revenue will be required to fund these services and infrastructure.
This amount changes every year.
-
We then divide this amount by the total value of all the properties within our municipality.
This gives us the rate in the dollar amount – currently $0.00151560.
-
The Capital Improved Value of each property is multiplied by the rate in the dollar amount.
This is used to calculate the amount each property owner will pay.
For more information about what your rates help pay for, see our Rates Notice brochure.
The formula used for calculating General Rates
The term General Rates refers to the amount you are charged before any additional charges are applied.
The formula for calculating your General Rates is:
Capital Improved Value x Rate in the dollar = General Rates
For a property where the Capital Improved Value is $1,475,000 the calculations would be:
| Capital Improved Value |
$1,475,000 |
|---|---|
| Rate in the dollar |
$0.00151560 |
| Calculation |
$1,475,000 x $0.00151560 = $2,235.50 |
The Victorian Government's Local Government website has more information about how rates are calculated.
Other charges on your rates notice
In addition to the general rates levy, your rates notice will also include:
- a waste services charge
- the State Government fire services property levy
- any overdue rates (arrears) from previous years.
Why do rates vary between councils?
If you own property in another local government area and wonder why some rates are more or less than others, this is because each council has different budgetary requirements for:
- capital works
- proposed works
- ongoing costs to maintain services in the local government area.
What is rate capping?
The State Government has capped rate increases at 2.75 per cent for 2024/2025. We have elected to apply this 2.75 per cent increase rather than seek an exemption from the cap.
It is important to remember that the cap of 2.75 per cent applies to the overall rate revenue raised by the council and not each individual property.
Most properties will experience rate increases that are slightly lower or higher than 2.75 per cent. If your Valuation has either decreased or increased more than the average, it is likely you will see a rate increase lower or higher than 2.75 per cent.

Calling all people from multicultural backgrounds in Manningham and surrounds!
Come and learn more about the importance of looking after your mental health and wellbeing, and the support that is available in your local community.
Our next Strength Through Connection event is a forum on Mental Health and Multicultural Communities as part of national Mental Health Week.
This event will feature:
- specialists in multicultural mental health
- a panel of experts
- local mental health and wellbeing service providers
- plus the launch of Manningham Council's mental health services webpage by Mayor Michelle Kleinert
Mental health is a key component of overall health and well-being. 1 in 5 (21.4 per cent) Australians aged 16 to 85 have experienced a mental disorder in the past 12 months.
Many people may not be aware of what poor mental health means, how to support someone or how they can get help. The individual needs, backgrounds and identities of people can impact how, or even whether, they will seek support.
We will have a broad range of speakers who will provide information about:
- types of mental health issues
- stories of lived experience
- what treatments are available
- how can you support someone
- how to get help
- hope for recovery
We look forward to seeing you there!

This exhibition is no longer showing in the Manningham Art Gallery.
Matthew Dunne is an artist and writer living and working in Melbourne, Australia.
The Killing Sink is a response to the deliberate killing of Wedge-Tailed Eagles in Victoria. Using the trial of Murray James Silvester, who pleaded guilty to killing over 400 eagles, as a starting point, the project traces the history of the practice, the animals killed and the geography of the crimes.
The Killing Sink acts as both a public celebration of eagles and a eulogy for what’s been taken, focusing on how we relate to the nature around us. Part true crime and part psychogeography, The Killing Sink asks what has been lost and how far have we really come?
