Consultation has concluded
At its meeting on October 18, 2016, Council voted to seek public comment on whether it should apply for a special rate rise that would replace the current one-off rise of 6.5% with a permanent rise of about 9% (being the 6.5% approved SRV from 2016/17 plus estimated rate peg of 2.5%).
If applied for and approved it would result in about a 4.3% increase in the base amount and ordinary rate on most current rates notices. It would not apply to annual domestic waste collection services, water or sewer charges or on-site effluent management charges. Further increases would be in line with the rate pegged limit.
No decision has been made to apply for the rate rise. That will only occur after getting the views of the community.
