Blue Mountains. Tourists may be taxed

Blue Mountains City Council has given a project brief to "a number" of consultants who will advise the council on the best way to introduce any possible tourism tax as the cost of fixing ageing infrastructure that provides access to the "natural environment" was outstripping council revenue Tourism chiefs warn it will turn travellers away from popular destinations at a time when the economy is recovering after the GFC and a strong Australian dollar has made Australia a less attractive destination for international visitors, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Another typical Blue Mountains City Council revenue-raising extortion scheme! I cannot even get a carport approved (now waiting 5 months). The first thing that will happen is that the council will take a pay rise. WATCH THIS SPACE.
