The 10-Year Plan is based on sustainable fnancial management and as part of that some cuts to grants
have been made and some user fees are increasing. In the community development area we are
cutng just under $800,000.
The cost of burial will also go up. The Council is also selling three housing complexes in the frst year of
the 10-Year Plan - River Road, Johnson Street and ascot Reid Ryan. These buildings are not of a suitable
standard for tenants. We are retaining ownership of the 21 remaining pensioner housing complexes.
