The Rotorua Lakes Council is set to confirm the city's rates and adopt its annual plan tomorrow.
Agenda items for tomorrow's meeting include setting council rates for the year July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018, adopting the 2017/2018 annual plan and approving the Water Services and Trade Waste Bylaw 2017.
Rotorua's residential ratepayers are facing a 4.1 per cent average rate increase in the coming year with 0.5 per cent of that factored in to cover losses after the closure of the Rotorua Museum due to earthquake damage.
If adopted, the annual plan would see an average rates increase across the district of 3.8 per cent, with the proposed increase coming on top of a 6 to 8 per cent average rise for urban residents in 2015 and a 2 to 2.2 per cent average rise last year.
Other items in the proposed annual plan include the East Rotoiti/Rotoma sewerage scheme, a move to a 100 per cent targeted rate for waste services and the $6.5 million redevelopment and earthquake strengthening of the Sir Howard Morrison Performing Arts Centre.
