Press Release – Waikato District Council
Waikato District Council is proposing a hard and fast general rate increase in year 1 of 9% and then 3.5% for year 2 and 3 of the plan. The other option sets the general rate increase at 7% in year 1, 6% in year 2 and 4% in year 3.
We want your views about the general rate increase we are proposing between 2021 and 2024. Should we ‘go hard and go early’ or be more cautious and spread rate increases more evenly over the first three years?

Improving parking at the estate is a priority, Waikato District Council douments said. Other plans include making a viewing area for the cricket oval, looking into the lake s water quality and adding a new jetty, and making it easier to string fairy lights across the “music lawn” beside the homestead.
