Community feedback prompts more budget changes

Community feedback has resulted in changes to the Council’s proposed post-COVID-19 budget, including: abandoning a proposal to save money through increased use of glyphosate weedkillers; boosting support to community groups; and additional funding for road sealing work. The overall proposed rates increase is 3.5%, and for an average residential property 1.77%. The Council will meet this Thursday to set the budget for 2020/21. Click through for more information:
