Fees and charges for 2026/27

Fees and charges help ensure costs are shared fairly between those who use specific services and the wider community, while supporting access to essential facilities and services.

To keep our services running smoothly, some fees and charges will increase from 1 July this year.

The Fees and Charges are set each year and follow the approach set out in the Revenue and Financing Policy, agreed in the Long Term Plan 2024-2044. Council consulted on the fees proposed under the Resource Management Act 1991. Most of the Resource Management fees are not increasing, however three new fees were approved:

  • Two optional fees to help fund a fire appliance for growing areas that do not have access to a piped water supply
  • One new processing system fee.

The full Fees and Charges Schedule was publicly available throughout the consultation period.

At the Council Meeting on 27 May 2026 Council adopted the Fees and Charges for the 2026/27 year. They come into effect on 1 July 2026. These views can be viewed below.
