    Kia ora Tarn, thanks for your question on our 2024-34 Long Term Plan.  We are aware everyone is feeling the pinch and unfortunately Council is not immune. Council is facing the same increase in costs as everyone else from the cost of replacing a road to increased interest cost on our debt (just like those with mortgages are facing). If our communities want us to keep providing all the services we do then they have to be paid for. This is the opportunity to have your say if there is a service you would like to see us deliver, deliver differently or stop altogether.  Please provide your feedback through our LTP feedback form on this page so it can be considered when Councillors are making their decisions for our plans for the next 10 years.

    What happens with the profits council are making in the Ngatea housing development and will this go towards keeping rates down?

    Tarn asked 8 months ago

    Kia ora Tarn, thanks for your question on our 2024-34 Long Term Plan. All sales from the sub-divisions in Ngatea go back into reducing the debt held by Council this means a reduction in what all ratepayers pay towards this debt. So in short yes the money from this development helps bring down the rates.
