By way of background, Wangaratta Unlimited is the economic development arm of the Rural City of Wangaratta. In November last year it decided to take a proactive response to the global economic downturn and commenced developing a response strategy. This strategy was finalised in February 2009 and submitted to Council for adoption. The strategy is based on the premise that "now is not the time to be timid". It acknowledges that while the Wangaratta regional economy will not be immune from the affects of the economic downturn, there are measures that can be undertaken to buffer these affects and indeed provide offsets to employment and economic activity in other directions. It is nominated four key directions for doing so: • Direct economic stimulation • Innovation and entrepreneurship • Leadership • Business support I look forward to your consideration of the Wangaratta Unlimited Global Economic Downturn Response Strategy and would be prepared to provide further information should you wish in this regard.

OUR DECISION The Fair Go Rates System (FGRS), established in the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act), requires local councils to limit their average annual rate increases to a rate cap, determined annually by the Minister for Local Government (the Minister).1 For the 2016-17 rating year, the cap has been set at 2.5 per cent. Councils wishing to increase their average annual rates by more than 2.5 per cent in 2016-17 must first obtain approval from the Essential Services Commission (the Commission). We are responsible for approving, rejecting or approving in part the higher cap sought by a council. This paper outlines our decision in response to an application by Towong Shire Council (Towong) for a higher cap of 6.34 per cent (which includes the Minister’s rate cap of 2.5 per cent) to apply in 2016-17.
