We are also seeking feedback on our proposed Fees and Charges schedule for 2026/27. As part of the annual planning process, fees and charges are reviewed to ensure the costs of providing these Council services are recovered by those who use them.

• Changes to water and wastewater fees
• Te Kūiti Transfer Station and rubbish bags
• Alcohol Licensing
• Consenting
