This campaign has two objectives |
|
|
| |
1) |
To replace the present system of council rates with a new, fairer system, which reflects both services provided and the ‘ability to pay’ of various sectors in the community. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
2) |
To develop a system of restraining council expenditure to levels which the community approves of, and which the community believes it can afford. |
