    FCC Council are looking at ways of reducing the interest/or reducing the rates and charges for the remaining outstanding Instalment due to COVID-19, can anyone direct me to the section of the act where it states this can not be done to support my answer.
    They are also looking at reducing the revenue intake for next financial year, under LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 1993 – SECT 509 Maximum general income I think covers this part where council can still make changes prior to adoption, keep in mind I have already forecasted the rates for 2020-2021 with rate peg at 2.6%, can I still change this if we do not wish to take up the 2.6% what section of the act covers this decision if we go to this pathway.
    you support is greatly appreciated.
