RATEPAYERS will get a $50 bonus after Cardinia Shire Council voted to scrap its controversial municipal levy.
In a pre-budget bombshell delivered amid hot debate at a meeting on Monday, councillors voted four-three to abandon the levy introduced almost three years ago.
Mayor Kate Lempriere’s casting vote decided the result.
Cr Lempriere voted alongside councillors Bill Ronald, Brett Owen and Ed Chatwin, whose push fulfilled a promise made before the 2005 election.
