ROTORUA 01.05.13: Rotorua
District Council (RDC) is reminding residents that they only
have until Friday [3 May] to make submissions on RDC’s
2013/14 draft Annual Plan.
The draft Annual Plan
proposes an overall increase in RDC rates to be collected in
2013/14 of less than one per cent.
RDC Corporate &
Customer services group manager Jean-Paul Gaston said while
submissions usually came in towards the end of the
consultation period, he was disappointed in the amount
received so far.
“Currently council has received
only received 53 submissions and we’re just two days away
from the closing date.
“It is important that
local residents take the chance to make submissions on
changes they want to the draft Annual Plan and the elements
in the plan they support. The council needs to know which of
its proposals are backed by residents.”
The full
120 page draft Annual Plan and online submission forms are
available on the RDC website rdc.govt.nz or summaries and
submission forms can be picked up from the council Customer
Centre, City Focus and Library.
Submissions close
at 4pm on Friday 3 May
2013.
