Local bodies in petrol-tax bid
PA • Dunedin The Municipal AssOcia- < ation wants a bigger share I of petroleum tax to be allo- t cated to local authorities to s help them keep pace with inflation. < A remit from The Auck- i land City Council along i these lines was endorsed at < the association’s conference i in Dunedin yesterday. | The maximum rate of 0.66 c a litre (3c a gallon) has not i been altered since the Local 5 Authorities (Petroleum Tax) < Act was introduced in 1969. 1
The conference also adopted a Christchurch City Council remit asking the Government to review finance for urban renewal schemes. The council wants the Government to consider the request with a view to making bridging finance available on favourable terms for private development proposals. It cited instances where merited private development was unable to proceed because of the lack of bridging finance.
