Book now to discuss rates and rises
Tenterfield Shire Council has opened bookings for Shire residents and landowners to meet Councillors and senior staff to discuss the proposed rates rises for 2023-24 and 2024-25.
Mayor Cr Bronwyn Petrie said Council was giving all ratepayers every opportunity to understand fully why Council needed to increase rates, including face-to-face meetings running from Monday, August 15 to Friday, September 30.
Appointments for 15-minutes can be booked for 1 -2 persons and 30-minutes for 3-4 persons, additional time can be negotiated.
Cr Petrie said if a progress association or other group wished to have a Council representative attend its next meeting, this could also be arranged, with the proviso questions be provided at least two days prior to the meeting to allow for any detailed information needed to respond.
Appointments can be made by contacting Ms Elizabeth Melling, Executive Assistant by email e.melling@tenterfield.nsw.gov.au or by phoning Council 02 6736 6000.
Details regarding additional public information sessions are yet to be confirmed and will be communicated shortly.
“Council is determined to answer all reasonable and genuine questions as we continue the process of making an application to the State Government’s Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal,” Cr Petrie said.
Residents are encouraged to visit Council’s website for general information on the proposed rates rises:
