Feedback is closing this week for the Revenue and Rating Plan 2025-2029, and Greater Shepparton City Council is reminding residents to have their say to help shape the upcoming document.
In Summary
A Revenue and Rating Plan is developed every four years to determine the most appropriate and affordable revenue and rating approach for the municipality. The services and infrastructure which Council provides to its community are essential to the development, growth, sustainability and future of the region, and rates provide a significant source of funding to enable this continued growth within the region.
The Revenue and Rating Plan outlines how rates will be distributed amongst ratepayers; includes details in relation to payment options, rebates, interest and financial hardship; and addresses other sources of revenue including user fees and charges, grants and contributions.
A survey has been established on Council’s Shaping Greater Shepp website for community members to provide their feedback. The survey page also includes frequently asked questions for residents to better understand the Revenue and Rating Plan.
Feedback closes at midnight this Friday 28 March 2025, with Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, encouraging people to provide their feedback before the closing date.
“We want to hear from residents to understand how they believe rate revenue can be distributed in the fairest and most equitable way across properties within Greater Shepparton,” he said.
“This is your chance to provide feedback to Council and help shape the upcoming document. I encourage everyone to jump on to the Shaping Greater Shepp website to have a read of the information available and provide your thoughts.”
Once feedback closes, a draft Revenue and Rating Plan will be developed and presented at the April Council Meeting. Further community consultation will then be undertaken ahead of the final plan being presented for adoption at the June 2025 Council Meeting.
