Fluctuate between 0% and 9.2% and average 4.7%. Council’s aim is to avoid these fluctuations.

Rate Increase History

Council remains sustainable

• ver the term of the Long

Term Financial Plan Total Loan Borrowings projected $26.4m returning to $18.2m by 2029‐30 $8.5m of this years loans relate to the Airport, which is proposed to be self funded

The operating deficit is driven by a loss of income related to COVID‐19, as well as the one‐off rate relief being prosed. The Long Term Financial Plan returns to target range in 2021‐22 and break‐even by 2023‐24.

2021 PRO PO SED BUDG ET

Funding the Annual Business Plan 2020/21

Council have considered the possibility of adopting a lower rate increase. This will lead to higher rate increases being required in future years as well as reductions in service delivery, in addition to the efficiencies required to offset the rate relief being provided. This reduction in community capacity and rating stability was considered to be a negative outcome for the city.

Rate Increase Future 3 Years Average Increases 2020/21 Savings Ongoing Savings 3.6% (LTFP) 3.9% ‐ $ 85,000 $ 2.4% (CPI) 4.3% 195,000 $ 110,000 $ 1.2% (Half CPI) 4.7% 355,000 $ 140,000 $ 0.0% 5.1% 355,000 $ 190,000 $
