Draft Revenue and Financing Policy 2023

This consultation has now closed. We will update this page once a decision has been made.

Background

The Revenue and Financing Policy is a requirement of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) to provide predictability and certainty about the Council’s sources and levels of funding for operating and capital expenditure.

The Proposal

When considering the funding sources appropriate for each activity Council has considered:

As part of this process Council considers the overall impact on the changes to the distribution of rates and fees and charges on the community.
