Many of our services are paid for through a combination of rates and user charges. If the cost of delivering these services rise, the increase will be covered by all ratepayers, through rates, and by users of the services rise, the increase will be covered by all ratepayers, through rates, and by users of the services, through an increase in fees/user charges. Our fees are set in accordance with our Revenue and Finance Policy, and depend on a range of factors including who benefits from the activity (see below). Areas where we are proposing to increase fees include:

  • Parking services
  • Dog registration fees
  • Community centres
  • Swimming pools and sportsfields
  • Marinas
  • Cemeteries
  • Landfill

To view the specific changes to fees see important documents. Parking changes are also discussed in the transport section.
