Following on from our update last week we can confirm that the Long Term Plan will now be considered for adoption by Council on Wednesday 18 September. Because of this delay, rates invoices will likely offer three instalment dates rather than the usual four.

We understand this will likely impact how ratepayers budget for these payments and further information about this change and your payment options are available on our website here: https://cdc.govt.nz/…/properties-and…/rates-information/

Current weekly, fortnightly or monthly direct debit arrangements will remain in place, continuing as normal. These will be adjusted once new rates invoices are issued. Any payments made prior to rates invoices being issued will be held in credit against relevant rates accounts.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to talk this through further. We are here to help.
