5 council hub pages sit under all suburbs, one per Greater Brisbane council, and 33 rates calculators sit under council rates for the councils people search for by name. Victoria is covered at council level only, 79 councils, because the Victorian figure is a different statistic from the Queensland and New South Wales ones and is never mixed with them.
