Council to hike rates and charges in 2023/2024 as it spends $170m

Hawkesbury residents will pay between 3.5% and 14% more in the 2023-2024 financial year for Council services, as it has hiked charges across all its rate categories including sewerage, land rates and waste management as part of its 2023/2024 Operational Plan and Budget passed at last week’s meeting.

The Hawkesbury City Council adopted the Plan at last week’s meeting which will see it spend $170 million this year. Along with rate hikes the cost of most council services have risen except those for development application fees  which remain unchanged although building construction certificates costs have risen. This is unusual as a reasonable proportion of the increased waste, drainage and deteriorating road conditions are due to an upswing in development.

Relief for Upper Colo residents as bridge reopens after floods

After a lengthy and challenging wait, the Upper Colo Bridge has finally been rebuilt and reopened today, providing immense relief to the residents of Upper Colo. The absence of a bridge, which was swept away by floods in 2021, had caused significant disruptions to the daily lives of the community.

The destruction of the wooden bridge during the March 2021 Hawkesbury River flood had unforeseen consequences for the locals. With the bridge out of commission, residents were forced to rely on a single access road riddled with potholes and landslips, worsened by subsequent rain events. This led to much longer commutes, decreased family gatherings, and increased isolation for the tight-knit community.
