Draft User Fees & Charges 2025/26
We need your feedback by Friday, 28 March
Tukua mai ōu whakaaro! Have your say on our user fees and charges for the coming year.
We review our user fees and charges each year to make sure they’re fit for purpose and keep up with changing costs. Before we make any decisions, we’re keen to hear what you think.
We’re proposing some updates to the fees, charges and policy for the 2025/26 year, in addition to a baseline 3.1% inflationary increase.
Our Draft User Fees & Charges 2025/26 document outlines the proposed updates we’re seeking feedback on.

If you want to talk to a councillor about what we're planning to do, we've set aside some time on Wednesday 2 April. You'll need to register first though, so please give us a call on 0800 002 004 or email [email protected] by Wednesday, 19 March to arrange a time.
Normally we consult on user fees and charges together with our Annual Plan.
This year we’re not consulting on our Annual Plan, as it’s not expected to contain any significant changes to what's in the Long Term Plan we adopted last year (which we consulted widely on).
We’re still required to develop an Annual Plan for 2025/26, and through that process we’re working hard to get rates lower than what was originally projected for the coming year. The final plan – this document will be available mid-year.
