education programme; and to broaden and deepen its relationship with iwi and hapū.
Financially, the impact of our proposals for ratepayers is relatively minor. The Council is proposing an increase of
3.5 percent in its general rates take for 2018/2019. In the last three years, the average general rates increase
has been 0.97%. Over the life of the 2018/2028 Long-Term Plan the general rates increase averages out at
between the devolved kawanatanga responsibilities of the Council and the
rangatiratanga rights of iwi in Taranaki.
The Code of Conduct is an expression of the Council’s commitment to take into account the
