Bellarine Peninsula residents in Ocean Grove, Drysdale and Clifton Springs be warned

An article in today's Independent entitled: Residents warned of ‘charges surge’ states:

"Thousands of Bellarine Peninsula residents are unaware they will pay millions of dollars in fees under council user-pays plans, an Ocean Grove resident has warned. John Hughes said council had told him it would “ultimately like to put footpaths everywhere”, potentially costing residents up to $12,000 each.

Drysdale and Clifton Springs households face drainage works levies of between $1000 and $250,000 each.

Residents are extremely angry and frustrated with the City of Greater Geelong. Most residents are not in a financial position to pay the proposed levies now or in the future. I wonder what the Council might try next?
