Hi Mel
This new paragraph relates to the current IPART review of the local government rate pegging system to consider population growth.
In the review terms of reference the Premier has asked IPART to recommend a rate peg methodology that allows the general income of councils to be varied annually in a way that accounts for population growth and whether a ‘growth factor’ should apply to each individual council or whether cohorts of councils should be established for this purpose.
Hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Andrew
