A report went to our Strategy Policy & Finance Committee this morning on Rates Remission for SNAs. The majority of the Committee supported the recommendation; “That the Committee recommends to Council to amend the rates remission policy, as set out in Attachment 2 of this report, to provide for a remission of $5 per hectare for rateable land that is identified as an SNA in the Rotorua District Plan where the area of rateable land that is identified as an SNA is a minimum of 20 hectares.”
This will now go to our full Council for a final decision on Thursday 24 June.
