Council Resolution Administrative Error To Be Corrected
Audit New Zealand has identified an administrative error in relation to the decision made by Council when it adopted the rates for 2025/2026, compared to what is included in the final NPDC Annual Plan document.
At the May 13 Council meeting, the resolution said the figures were inclusive of GST but were in fact exclusive of GST.
The Annual Plan itself remains valid and approved; however, we need a resolution that matches what is in the Annual Plan.
This approach is consistent with legal advice which recognises the error as essentially as a typo.
“We apologise we got this wrong and are looking at our processes to identify what we can do better,” says NPDC General Manager Corporate Innovation, Jacqueline Baker.
This matter will go to the Council on 1 July. The report on this matter should be on our website within the next couple of hours (today).
