Do you think we've got the balance about right?Through this Annual Plan we have tried to balance some key priorities on behalf of the community. We need to support local people and businesses through the immediate impacts of Covid-19: Council has got balance about right We need a strong emphasis on economic support and job creation: Council has got balance about right We need to focus on our future challenges: This should be even more of a focus and Council should be doing more (give examples below) We need to relieve financial pressure and reduce the rating impact: This should be even more of a focus and Council should be doing more (give examples below) Q2. Please tell us why you provided that answer. It's really helpful if we can understand what you were thinking when you responded. Especially if you think we should be doing more or less of something. Keep in mind if we do more, we will need to reprioritise other things, or increase costs. I have commented in the comment box below. Lack of direct benefit for Maori constituents. Rate smoothing model is unfair. Abolish penalties on rates defaulting Q3. Is there something that is missing from our priorities? Given the big changes our District is experiencing at the moment, we have got a big workplan ahead of us. If you think there's something missing please let us know. But also don't forget to let us know your priorities for the District through "Future in Focus". Kia ora, While I understand this annual plan is going to be different to any other, I have 3 concerns with it. 1. Given the Whakatane district is approx 45% Maori, I don't see anything substantial in this plan that addresses Maori issues or would directly benefit the Maori constituency. 2. The rate smoothing model that council has adopted has given a select few land and building owners negative rates while the rest of the district have had an increase, some substantial. 3. I would like to see the penalty payment on rates defaulting abolished. It is ridiculous and prays on most of those who can't afford rates anyway. In my view the penalties also gives a false account of credit and debt on you books. 4 Respondent No: 9 Login: Anton Email: [email protected] Q1.
