- **Event Name**: TOWN HALL MEETING : RESIDENTS AGAINST RATE RISE FROM CESSNOCK CITY COUNCIL
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 24 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 am
- **Event Description**: Why Are We Holding a Town Hall Meeting?

We are holding this Town Hall Meeting to give residents a voice regarding Cessnock City Council’s proposed 39.9% rate rise.

This proposed increase will significantly impact families, pensioners, small businesses and property owners across our community. Many residents are concerned about:
	•	The affordability of such a large increase
	•	The financial management behind the proposal
	•	The long-term impact on households already facing cost-of-living pressures
	•	Whether all alternative options have been properly explored

This meeting is about:

✔ Providing clear information
✔ Asking important questions
✔ Hearing from residents
✔ Discussing what actions can be taken
✔ Ensuring community voices are heard

It’s not about division, it’s about transparency, accountability, and protecting our community from financial decisions that may place unnecessary strain on local families.
