Financially, the impact of our proposals for ratepayers is relatively minor. The Council is proposing an increase of
3.5 percent in its general rates take for 2018/2019. In the last three years, the average general rates increase
has been 0.97%. Over the life of the 2018/2028 Long-Term Plan the general rates increase averages out at
between the devolved kawanatanga responsibilities of the Council and the
rangatiratanga rights of iwi in Taranaki.
