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.
