Every property owner in our region contributes to the work of Council through their rates.
As your regional council, our role differs from that of the three district councils: we are responsible for managing the region's land, air and water resources on behalf of the communities we serve.
Your rate payments allow us to manage our region's natural resources now and into the future.
For more information about how to read your rates notice check out the back page of our latest rates newsletter. Our rates FAQs may also be helpful.
