Consultation has concluded. Thank you for your feedback. Council will consider this as part of its decision-making process. We will be in touch at the end of June 2019 to let you know the decisions that are made.

Update 26 June 2019:

  • Rates rise slightly for Western Bay - read more.
  • Western Bay of Plenty District Council adopted its 2019/20 Annual Plan today setting an average rates increase of 3.1 percent, slightly less than last year’s increase of 3.6 percent.
  • The increase, of which inflation accounts for 2.2 percent maintains Council’s Long Term Plan (2018-2028) pledge to keep total rate increases below four percent (excluding population growth) for existing ratepayers over the 10 years from 2018-2028.



Council's total rates are proposed to increase by 3.45 percent for the 2019/20 year. This is less than the average of 3.6 percent forecast for 2019/20 through the 2018-2028 Long Term Plan. Council is consulting on changes to targeted rates and to allow early payment of some capital cost recovery targeted rates.
