The adoption of the Tararua District 2024-2025 Long-Term Plan has been postponed by one week due to Audit NZ’s identification of some changes that need to be made in the Long-Term Plan.
As a result, the auditors are unable to complete their audit opinion by the originally planned adoption date of July 31.
The council will now adopt the Long-Term Plan on August 7, 2024.
This adjustment meant the fees and charges for the 2024/2025 financial year would come into effect on August 8 2024.
The rates invoices will be mailed no later than August 14 and the due date for rates will be extended to September 13.
