This consultation has concluded.

Lismore City Council is committed to a comprehensive community engagement process which is intended to gauge community support for a special rate increase next year. If approved by the Minister for Local Government a 3.51% increase to Council general rates will be applied, in addition to the normal rate increase, to generate an extra $800,000 annually from 2010/11.We wish to make this application to provide better roads, actively address sustainable environmental issues and boost business promotion in the Lismore local government area.

What are your views on a rate increase for a sustainable environment?

Reviving our river, creeks and bushland; assisting landholders with environmental weed control and protecting significant habitat; an LGA-wide Flora and Fauna Study; and helping the community to make sustainable choices in their homes and businesses whilst addressing climate change - these are some of the projects that extra funding for the environmental section would support.
To what extent do you feel projects such as these deserve additional funding? Why? Are you prepared to pay additional rates to achieve better environmental outcomes?
