The community has until May 27 to give feedback on the 2024-2334 Draft Long Term Plan.
The plan proposes a rate increase of 25 per cent for the 2024/25 year, eight per cent of which would be used to help fund the significant work required to repair and rebuild from Cyclone Gabrielle, the remainder to deliver core services.
It is proposed that the rate increase would reduce to 15 per cent in the second year (six per cent targeted for cyclone recovery) and 10 per cent in the third year.
From years four to 10, the rating increase would reduce to four per cent in the greater urban area, and to seven per cent in the rural area.
The plan also includes information on growth planning and development contributions (paid by developers to fund growth), where savings are being made (including delaying non-essential projects and closing Frimley Pool), and funding and debt management.
To read the Consultation Document and the Draft Development Contributions policy, and to have your say, either go online to www.myvoicemychoice.co.nz or you can find copies at Hastings’ libraries (Hastings, Havelock North, Flaxmere) or at Council’s customer service centre at Lyndon Rd.
