Rates Structure Review - learn more and have your say
The Rates Structure Review is the review of the way we structure our overall rating system to share the rating burden among all ratepayers. It is not about how much money we get from rates
The rating review will cover:
* General Rates (including the use of Land Value versus Capital Value)
* The use and definition of Separately Used or Inhabited Part of a rating unit
* Stepped Rates
* Sector Splits
* Targeted Rates
* Remission and Postponement Policies
We want to hear from you!! We will be gathering your views and suggestions for improvement over the next month.
You can read more about this on the Rates Structure Review page at the link below.
Public meetings will be held on:
Monday 1 May: Forum North, 6pm
Tuesday 2 May: Kamo Bowling Club (Main Hall), 6pm
Thursday 4 May: Onerahi Bowling Club, 6pm
Tuesday 9 May: Ruakaka Recreation Centre, 6pm
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
