The overall objective of the proposed rates for 2021/22 is to provide funding for the Shire's services, activities, financing costs and capital expenditure programs.

"The Shire acknowledges the value of tourism to the local economy and the proposal which is now in front of the community for comment is ultimately about spreading the associated costs fairly." - David King, Acting CEO
