Feedback on proposed fees and charges for 2026/2027 is now Open.
Every year Kaipara District Council reviews its fees and charges. Fees and charges are used to support the operation and maintenance of a variety of services provided to the community. They are set on a user-pays basis to ensure that rate increases are kept to a minimum where possible.
This year a 3 percent increase has been incorporated to many fees to account for current inflation, in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Other fees have changed or decreased.

The feedback period is open for one month from Monday 6 April until 11.59pm Monday 4 May 2026. You can provide your feedback via our submission form.
