Deputation Pushes Rates Relief and Controlled Burns
A large deputation met the District Council on February 16 to urge rate relief and consider a 12 month recess. They sought remittance of fines for hardship, partial payment plans, and priority for ratepayers in tendering. They also pressed for council approval to burn off grass and stubble during the year with safety and legal safeguards, citing bush fire threats and crop pests. The council agreed to accept half the rates before March and the balance by June, with fines remittable on hardship proof, and discussed safeguards including fire tanks, trained staff, and official notice.
