A report to the council's finance corporate and business committee forecasts that while rates will be held constant with an increase of 2 per cent, the case for a higher uniform annual general charge (UAGC) should be investigated.
It is proposed that the $110 waste charge will increase to $125, and the $150 UAGC will "significantly increase," says Mr Hucker.
