- reducing rates by 10%
- to catch up with other levels of government in Council's response
- a reduction in property values

- amalgamation of Councils
- Acknowledge that Local Government is becoming increasingly irrelevant
- Not paying accounts when due
Council is already preparing to consult with residents about keeping the rate change to 0%. We want to know what you think. While house price rises have been conservative they are still higher than last year. To make an effective 0% the rate in the dollar will still need to be reduced. While housing prices may fall as a result of this virus this is not reflected in the current values.
