Council’s forestry approach Debate

Community Wellbeing - Cost of Living

Option 1

The primary argument supporting Option 1 is centered on the financial benefits of continuing commercial forestry, which provides a steady income source. This income is seen as essential for reducing the financial burden on ratepayers by offsetting costs that would otherwise need to be covered by increased rates. Maintaining the current forestry approach is viewed as a way to ensure economic stability and community wellbeing without imposing additional financial strain on residents.

337.3	maintaining an income souce from managed forestry surely is critical to keep the pressure off rate payers.
