YOUR FEEDBACK
Our limited roading budget does not provide for the extra roading damage caused by logging trucks during harvesting operations. A targeted or differential rate will help mitigate this. We are considering 3 options. 1. Status quo - no change to rating structure for forestry 2. Differentiated District Roading Rate (preferred) 3. Funding the additional operating rate deficit



We need to decide what level of spending we should put into improving Te Kūiti stormwater network to reduce the impact of severe weather events.


Currently there is no funding in place for any repairs or upgrades to the Council-owned Rural Halls. Considerable investment is needed to keep them open.



We want to balance keeping our elder persons housing affordable for residents, but without oversubsidising it at a cost to other ratepayers.


Many councils are moving toward shifting the ownership or management of their elder persons housing to a Community Housing Provider (CHP) rather than providing this service themselves (e.g. Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, or an iwi provider).


Some property owners in Te Kūiti who benefit from the stormwater network are not contributing to its operation and maintenance.


Council has general activities which generate districtwide benefit, but are not split uniformly between the General Rate and Uniform Annual General Charge (UAGC). We propose to simplify the rates calculation process.


We have had to consider how we will deliver our 3 Waters services. Council’s preferred approaches are keeping the status quo with investing “as and when needed”, and installing water meters.
