The Gold Coast council is under fire for slugging unit owners living on higher floors of apartment buildings with massive rate rises.

“I appreciate there is definitely going to be property owners in high-rises that will be frustrated … but the premise that a person living in a $2 million, $3 million, $5 million penthouse should pay exactly the same rates on the ground floor unit isn’t a fair model,” he said.
