19.9% rates rise proposed
Are you concerned about the 19.9% rates increase Council is proposing? Our draft Long-Term Plan reflects our commitment to building a better future for all Hamiltonians. To achieve this, we’re proposing an average rates rise of $11 per week for a median-value residential property in 2024/25.
This isn’t the outlook we were hoping to present for our city. But significant rates increases are necessary to invest in what our city needs now and in the future.
Remember, no final decisions have been made yet.
First, we need to ensure everyone’s voice is heard Visit hamilton.govt.nz/future-hamilton to have your say.
