The Special Rate Variation
The Council is progressively implementing the goals of the community strategic plan, Pittwater 2020.
To deliver those goals and maintain Pittwater's strength, independence and financial sustainability, the Council introduced a three-year 'special rate variation' in July 2011.
This is a levy on annual rates of 8%, 7% and 6% respectively from 2012 to 2016.
The special rate levy replaces the Environmental Infrastructure Levy, which was introduced in 2002 and expired in June 2011.
Funds generated from the special rate are being used for a range of projects, including major capital works, the environment, improving community facilities and replacing aging infrastructure. In total, $38 million will be spent on a wide-ranging program of projects and services to meet the goals of Pittwater 2020. For more information see:
- Pittwater's Strategic Framework
- Program of Works (including photographs)
Residents are being kept informed about progress on the program through our monthly e-newsletter Pittwater Report Online and the quarterly newsletter Pittwater Report which is mailed to ratepayers along with their rates notice.
Residents are also represented by community members on the Special Rate Variation Community Committee which meets quarterly.
