A legal technicality has left people across far west NSW scratching their heads and wondering if His Majesty owns a small block of land in Wilcannia.
abc.net.au/news/king-charles-listed-owner-wilcannia-block-in-overdue-rates-list/101928330A New South Wales council has clarified that a small block of land in Wilcannia does not in fact belong to King Charles III.The block was formerly owned by a local arts organisationCentral Darling Shire Council this week revealed a list of 35 properties that had overdue rates in the local government area.
One peculiar inclusion, however, was a block of land at 66 Woore Street, housing a small building and apparently owned by the King, owing more than $15,000 in rates. When contacted by the ABC, the council clarified the property was previously owned by Wilcannia Arts Incorporated, but the association's registration was involuntarily cancelled in 2017.
This means that even if the owner was indeed the King, he would not owe the council rates unless it happened to be his home away from home when not dealing with affairs of the crown.
