Nepean electorate
Sam GROTH (Nepean) (14:51): (1282) My constituency question is to the Treasurer, and I refer to the 2025 land tax assessment issued on the owners of a family home in McCrae which tragically collapsed in last year’s landslide. Despite the dwelling being uninhabitable and literally reduced to rubble, the owners have now been served a $7800 land tax bill, as though the property remained a functioning residence. This is plainly unreasonable and deeply insensitive given the family has lost not only their home but also their stability and sense of security. My question is: what steps will the government take to ensure that families in such extraordinary and devastating circumstances are not further punished by being forced to pay thousands of dollars in land tax on a home that no longer exists?
