Council seeking feedback on rating strategy

Director Corporate Services Chris Teitzel said “We have done a review of the Strategy to ensure the equitable distribution of rates continues in accordance with the Local Government Act and Ministerial Guidelines.”

“We have come up with an option which we believe makes Council’s rating strategy easier to understand and simpler to administer and we are inviting ratepayers to provide their comments,” said Mr Teitzel.

Ratepayers can provide feedback at information sessions on Thursday 15 February or online or by making an appointment with the Manager Finance and Rates.

The information sessions on 15 February are arranged to provide relevant information to specific ratepayer groups. Bookings are not required, just turn up at the Welsford Street offices at the relevant time for your group.
