@beachescouncil A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR A special Council meeting was held last Wednesday evening to consider the Draſt Budget and Operational Plan for 2017/18. These documents are now out on exhibition until Sunday 4 June. One issue that will cause considerable disappointment is the proposed 9.4% rate increase for former Warringah residents. When the State Government announced the council amalgamations in May last year, the Minister said there would be no rate increases for four years. This claim was not the complete story. The statement should have said there will be no new increases, apart from those already determined by the Independent Pricing Regulatory and Tribunal (IPART), or those brought about by changes in property valuation. In 2014 IPART increased the Warringah rates over a four year period by 3.1%, 3%, 3% and 9.4%. The first 3 years were seen as inflation adjustments, the fourth (the 9.4%) was to allow the Council to maintain its services. IPART considered the independent polling and determined that while the community did not favour a larger rise to increase service levels, it did determine the above increases to maintain existing services. IPART’s process is rigorous and they only make determinations for above inflation increases where it is clearly warranted and community support is established. There will be no further rate increases allowed for at least the next three years, and the forward projections outlined in the Draſt Budget indicate a strong position for the next 10 years. Another NSW Government decision, to require fire service levies to be collected through Council rating systems instead of through private insurance premiums, has also required a new property valuation. As with the last one, this will see Council’s overall rate revenue stay the same but will see some rates increase and some decrease, depending on the extent of the valuation change. The Draſt Budget includes many positive proposals, such as the record $114m capital works budget, but it is impossible to cover the detail in this column. I would urge residents interested in their Council to visit Council's website and look at the material and make a submission if appropriate. Dick Persson AM [email protected] WHAT'S ON?

A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR
A special Council meeting was held last Wednesday evening to consider the Draft Budget and Operational Plan for 2017/18. These
documents are now out on exhibition until Sunday 4 June.
One issue that will cause considerable disappointment is the proposed 9.4% rate increase for former Warringah residents. When the State Government announced the council amalgamations in May last year, the Minister said there would be no rate increases for four years. This claim was not the complete story.
The statement should have said there will be no new increases, apart from those already determined by the Independent Pricing Regulatory and Tribunal (IPART), or those brought about by changes in property valuation.
In 2014 IPART increased the Warringah rates over a four year period by 3.1%, 3%, 3% and 9.4%. The first 3 years were seen as inflation adjustments, the fourth (the 9.4%) was to allow the Council to maintain its services. IPART considered the independent polling and determined that while the community did not favour a larger rise to increase service levels, it did determine the above increases to maintain existing services. IPART’s process is rigorous and they only make determinations for above inflation increases where it is clearly warranted and community support is established.
There will be no further rate increases allowed for at least the next three years, and the forward projections outlined in the Draft Budget indicate a strong position for the next 10 years.
Another NSW Government decision, to require fire service levies to be collected through Council rating systems instead of through private insurance premiums, has also required a new property valuation. As with the last one, this will see Council’s overall rate revenue stay the same but will see some rates increase and some decrease, depending on the extent of the valuation change.
The Draft Budget includes many positive proposals, such as the record $114m capital works budget, but it is impossible to cover the detail in this column. I would urge residents interested in their Council to visit Council's website and look at the material and make a submission if appropriate.
