Council has approved its 2017–18 budget
Published on 21 August 2017
The City of Hobart has approved a rates increase of 3.25 per cent as part of its responsible and financially prudent 2017–18 budget.
It is a budget that looks at both today and tomorrow and is positive about the future.
It will assist in funding the increased cost of delivering the Council’s extensive range of services to the community and to deliver year two of the Transforming Hobart capital works plan.
The Council plans to continue investing, improving and modernising our public assets and infrastructure – our roads, paths, buildings, toilets and open spaces.
