Draft Annual Plan submissions to close Friday
1 May 2013
Rotorua District Council (RDC) is reminding residents that they only have until Friday [3 May] to make submissions on RDC's 2013/14 draft Annual Plan.
The draft Annual Plan proposes an overall increase in RDC rates to be collected in 2013/14 of less than one per cent.
RDC Corporate & Customer services group manager Jean-Paul Gaston said while submissions usually came in towards the end of the consultation period, he was disappointed in the amount received so far.
Currently council has received only received 53 submissions and we're just two days away from the closing date.
It is important that local residents take the chance to make submissions on changes they want to the draft Annual Plan and the elements in the plan they support. The council needs to know which of its proposals are backed by residents.
The full 120 page draft Annual Plan and online submission forms are available on the RDC website rdc.govt.nz or summaries and submission forms can be picked up from the council Customer Centre, City Focus and Library.
Submissions close at 4pm on Friday 3 May 2013.
