We live in an awesome district which is under pressure to deliver services to a growing population. Clean water, well maintained reserves, maintaining roads and footpaths, rubbish collection etc
Rates are set to increase by 4.3% over the next 10 years...meaning if you are paying $3500 this year in 2029 you will be paying over $5000.. is this affordable.
We need staff to be more accountable for spending... in the last 3 financial years Council departments have been over budget by $32.8 million.
We need a district that is vibrant and well promoted to encourage businesses to grow and flourish and employ more locals.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
