Council is required to develop a Revenue and Rating Plan by 30 June in the year following a general election. The Plan provides a medium-term strategy for how Council will generate income to deliver on the Council Plan, program and services and capital works commitments over a 4-year period.
The Revenue and Rating Plan incorporates:
- how revenue will be generated through rates on properties (including differential rates on different property classes);
- fixed service charges that might be applied on services such as waste or recycling;
- fees and charges for services and programs;
- developer contributions and other revenue;
- revenue generated from use or allocation of Council assets (including the application of discounts and waivers);
- recurrent and non-recurrent operational and capital grants from other levels of government; and
- other activities established to deliver programs or services and generate income or reduce costs.
The Revenue & Rating Plan was adopted by Council on 23 June 2021.
