Average cost of utilities, council rates, strata fees in Hobart, Tasmania?

Question

Average cost of utilities, council rates, strata fees in Hobart, Tasmania?

Answer 1

Not sure what your are accustomed to but having moved from Sydney 3 years ago I find rates more expensive but utilities about the same (with a caveat)

Rates are based on value and I pay about 550 a quarter compared with about 350 in Sydney for about the same value of property.

Utilities - gas is a new introduction so most people are just electricity and comes in about 300 a quarter, the caveat is it is possible for this to blow out if you use the wrong heating choice- my house has flat panel heaters which I used for the first month fortunately the bill arrived after 5 weeks here at 400. Water is unmetered and part of the rates. Local electricity supplier is Aurora so you can check things on their site

Not sure of strata fees

Answer 2

everything cost more nowdays and the wages havent changed. Tasmanians are the lowest paid in Australia  I have no idea why that is, fuel, food,rates,utilities and also housing costs have all skyrocketed over the last few years but Tasmanian wages remain the lowest, go figure and lets not forget that it costs more to actually get to Tasmania
