Council seek IPART approval for rate increase.
At its extraordinary meeting on 21 January, Council resolved to apply to IPART for a 52.66% cumulative increase to rates over three years (including the rate peg) together with an increase to the minimum residential and business rates of $396.08 above rate peg over the three-year period.
The submission will be focused on financial sustainability and infrastructure management while providing modest funding to respond to community needs and growth pressures.
