Council wants to lock in prison rates

Posted on October 14, 2009, 7:07pm

Grant District Council will explore whether the local government body can start billing the Mount Gambier Prison for rates.

This follows the State Government proposing a new 80-bed, two-storey medium-security facility and a separate 36-bed low security facility.

Even without the prison extension, the existing rates payable would be around $43,000.

Council will seek legal advice on the matter.
