Our Draft Report outlines our key draft decisions on the rate peg methodology and other matters for further consideration.

ORIMA Research conducted a survey of residential and business ratepayers and conducted 5 focus groups with ratepayers across the State. The reports on the survey and focus groups are found here:

The CIE provided advice on local government labour costs and the treatment of external costs in our rate peg methodology.
