Forward planning: Port Macquarie-Hastings Council has notified IPART of its intention to apply for a special rate variation.
PORT Macquarie-Hastings Council has notified the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal of its intention to apply for a special rate rise.
Thirteen councils across the state intend to apply for either a special variation or a minimum rate increase in 2017-18.
Our council’s expression of interest to IPART was about embedding the existing special rate variation into the future.
Councils have until February 13 to submit special rate rise applications after community consultation.
