It appears that although a 25% rise was suggested, an increase of 8.99% has been authorised by the Department. The RBWM Budget Meeting is on 5 March 2025 and starting at 6.00pm when the matter will be considered and resolved. That RBWM is in a financial mess (and burdened with enormous debt) is not disputed. My view is that those individuals who got us in this mess should be held accountable – or at least publicly identified. Patience required!
