Welcome
Council adopted a four-year Revenue and Rating Plan on 28 June 2021.
The 2022-23 Proposed Revenue and Rating Plan incorporates feedback from extensive community engagement over the past 12 months, in addition to outcomes from Council's budget discussions.
The Revenue and Rating Plan explains the revenue required to fund council services and activities, and how the funding responsibility will be shared between ratepayers and users of council facilities and services.
In particular, the Revenue and Rating Plan sets out the system of rates and charges adopted by Council, and how it allocates the required rates contribution on the most appropriate, equitable and affordable basis.
