Rates Policy 2020 - 2021

The purpose of this policy is to allow the Council to exercise its power to impose rates within a statutory framework for the purpose of enhancing certainty, uniformity and simplicity, taking into account the historical imbalances within communities, as well as the burden of rates on the poor.

As trustees on behalf of the local community, the Council shall adhere to its statutory and moral obligation to ensure that it implements this policy in a manner which safeguards the monetary value and future service provision invested in property.
