We have reviewed the fees and charges of all Council user-paid services for 2025/26. We do this each year to ensure we are recovering some operating costs through user pays. The standard increases are in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) but may be more or less, depending on the requirements of the service.
The cost of running and managing Redclyffe Transfer Station has increased significantly. Additionally, the cost of disposing of waste at Omarunui landfill has increased in recent years. We are proposing to increase fees for Redclyffe Transfer Station at a rate beyond the CPI to cover these increased costs. The transfer station is a userpays service. It’s important that the cost increases of the service are passed on to its users, to avoid greater rates increases, which we know the community doesn’t want.
A full list of proposed fees and charges for 2025/26 can be read here.
Under this option, we would be able to continue to fund a quality service that is more financially self-sustainable. The people using the service would be the ones paying for the cost increase. The general rates increase would be lower.
Under this option, either a rates increase would be needed to cover the funding shortfall, or there would need to be a reduction in the level of service offered at Redclyffe Transfer Station. For example, this could mean a reduction in the station’s opening hours.
