Note that a Separately Used or Inhabited Part of a Rating Unit (SUIP) is defined as:

Any portion of a rating unit used or inhabited by any person, other than the ratepayer or member of the ratepayers household, having a right to use or inhabit that portion by virtue of a tenancy, lease, license or other agreement.

In essence this gives Council the ability to separately rate multiple dwellings on a single certificate of title, such as each flat within a block of flats, each shop within a mall, or a second house on a property.
