How this is measured
New South Wales figures are the average residential rate published by the Office of Local Government, uplifted by each council's IPART rate peg for 2026-27. It is a typical bill rather than a floor, so an individual notice sits either side of it.
The figure above covers 30 Coffs Harbour suburbs across 1 council area, for 2026-27. It sits in the 70th percentile of all 126 NSW councils, 16% above the NSW median of $1,282. Queensland and New South Wales publish different statistics and are never averaged together on this site. Suburbs carrying a neighbouring council's figure are excluded. No property prices, land valuations or capital growth figures appear anywhere on SuburbCost.
