Media Release 30th March 2017
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council has adopted supporting papers covering the Draft Annual Plan 2017-18, and approved a consultation document ahead of this year’s consultation period.
The Council is recommending a base rate increase of 4.88% to fund a ‘business as usual’ delivery of Council’s services. It is also proposing to increase rates by a further 5% to kick-start action in six environmental hot spot areas, for a total rate increase of 9.88%.
The six hot spot areas are Lake Tūtira, Ahuriri estuary, Whakaki Lake and Wairoa River, Lake Whatuma and Tukituki catchment, Karamū Stream, and the Coastal Marine Environment.
The 2017 consultation document covers changes to the earlier direction proposed for year three of the 2015-25 Long Term Plan. The current Long Term Plan will be reviewed through a process beginning later this year, ahead of next year’s 2018-28 Long Term Plan.
The community are encouraged to share their views on the Draft Annual Plan 2017-18 from 10 April and until 4pm on Friday 12 May 2017.
