Our Rates Are Too High

I have delayed posting on this blog in order to wait and see what the new council are going to do, and where they are going to land. The council has now landed. It is obvious now that they are going to fully support the commissioner’s developer friendly agenda. That means big spending, big rates increases, and big debt.

Currently the council is considering the annual plan for 2025-26. This is an opportunity to put forward our views to the elected members. It is unlikely that they will listen, but we should at least try.

I am updating the blog as we move forward.
