🗣Have Your Say: SRV Community Consultation Now Live

Upper Hunter Shire Council is now seeking your feedback on a proposed Special Rate Variation (SRV) to secure the financial future of our community. Rising costs and the need for sustainable financial management mean we must consider additional funding to maintain the essential services you rely on.
 
We are considering two options:
 
🔵 SRV of 10% over 3 years: A cumulative permanent increase of 33.10% over three years.
🔵 SRV of 7.5% over 4 years: A cumulative permanent increase of 33.55% over four years.
 
👉 For the average residential household, the proposed SRV will amount to approximately $4 extra per week, above normal rating increases, by the final year of the SRV.
 
These variations will help us continue providing vital services such as road maintenance and community facilities, while ensuring our infrastructure remains safe and functional.
 
Your input is crucial to help us make informed decisions that reflect the needs and priorities of our community. We value your feedback and encourage you to participate in this important consultation process.
 
The consultation period will run from 3 June 2024 to July 15

Community members can participate in several ways:

Merriwa: Old Library Building Merriwa
17 June between 2pm and 6pm.

Scone: Upper Hunter Shire Council Administration Building
18 June between 2pm and 6pm.

Murrururndi: CWA Hall – Mayne Street Murrurundi
19 June between 2pm and 6pm.

  • Written Submissions: Written submissions can be provided via mail, email, or in person at one of our Administration Centres.
