Targeted Rates for our Community
We currently have three targeted rates that are collected on our behalf by Western Bay of Plenty District Council (WBOPDC). These rates came about through consultation with the community for specific areas of need. The Pukehina Development Fund and Coastal Charge was set up in the early 2000's and the Community Centre/Hall rate in 2022.
