IPART Review – Rate Peg and Population Growth

IPART has released its Issues Paper on the review of the current system for setting local government rates revenue (the “rate pegging system”) to consider population growth.

This is to support the NSW Government’s commitment to allow councils to align their rates revenue with population growth.

IPART invites submissions to its Issues Paper on the impact of population growth on council costs.

Feedback on the issues to be explored through the review will be received until 3 May 2021.

LGNSW will be making a submission and requests feedback from councils to inform our response. Comments would be appreciated by 20 April if possible.

Please email Shaun McBride with comments or copies of submissions.
