Annual Plan Consultation ends Thursday

The Team from Whangarei District Council

There's just 2 days left in our Annual Plan feedback window! Please take the time to read the information at this link and give us your thoughts by 5:30pm on Thursday June 4.

We are seeking feedback on our Annual Plan 2020-21, which is about the changes we have made in response to COVID-19. The plan includes a proposal to reduce the overall General Rate rise to 2.2% (inflation), and provide $3m in targeted relief. We are also seeking extra funding from central government.

These measures are intended to soften the economic blow delivered by COVID-19, and provide extra support to the District as it works to recover.
