To secure the financial future of the region, Council resolved to proceed with an application for a permanent Special Rate Variation over two years.

The need for the increase comes in response to government cost shifting and previous low rate pegs set by IPART. The application will be submitted in February, and the community will have another opportunity to provide feedback.
