Special Rate Variation Community Engagement Report - Shoalhaven City Council

Recommendations

Info

charges, if it makes Shoalhaven City a more liveable and attractive place, more prosperous and inviting. Respondents recommended that to create an overall motivation for paying higher rates among residents, Council should create opportunities for community to be involved in decision-making processes. Council should clearly show that it understands the community’s priorities correctly and build strategies to make the money is spent effectively to meet their priorities. To create support for having to pay higher rates, Council should communicate its management methods more effectively. Residents should be aware how the higher rates would provide Council with opportunities to build more inclusive community facilities. 40
Council also should ensure that the residents are aware that the higher rates generate financial sustainability for the Council and opportunities for management to implement its strategic objectives. In both cases, some residents are motivated to pay higher rates and offer support having to pay higher rates if the money is used to improve Shoalhaven City’s future prospects. 7.1.5 Rates Options When the rate-payers were asked their preferred options for the future rates increases, almost half of them (47%) stated that they are not prepared to pay additional rates. They do not indicate a clear preference among the proposed options but an ‘increase rates by 11.5% every year for 2 years (plus the rate peg): Lowest increase over a seven year period’ was the most identified option (37%). 7.1.6 Spending of additional funds According to respondents, the extra income that is generated from the increased rates should be spent on roads (58%).The significance tests showed that the roads are clearly the main priority for the Council’s future investments for all subgroups of the sample. 41
