2020/2021 Draft Annual Plan
We recognised that the rates increase signaled in the 2018/2021 Three Year Plan (10%) would not be acceptable in the post COVID-19 environment and to this end Council directed the CEO to revise the Draft Annual Plan budget to mitigate the effects on ratepayers due to the impact of COVID-19 on the community and its economy.
We can report that our average rates increase this year is proposed to be 4.6% and we are not creating an unacceptable burden for the following years.
There are some big items included in the 2020/2021 Draft Annual Plan such as possible changes to Rubbish and Recycling services, the construction of the Aquatic Centre and the Clarence Valley Access - Glen Alton Bridge.
To find out more and ask any questions we urge you to attend a community gathering during July.
