Connect 2 Campbelltown Newsletter - New opportunities, Annual Business Plan outcomes & Coffee Chat details

Thank you to everyone that participated in the Annual Business Plan & Budget consultation. Your feedback helped to inform Council regarding Community perceptions of the proposals presented and resulted in the following (subject to final adoption of the Plan & Budget on 4 July):

The general rate increase being reduced from 8.90% to 7.90%
The ARC external lift project being referred for further consultation with ARC Users

I hope these results encourage you to continue participating in consultation opportunities as they arise.
