Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The council is evaluating whether to continue operating Splash Planet, which costs about $1.6 million annually through rates, or to gradually move away from the attraction. The Hastings Art Gallery costs about $1.9 million annually, and maintaining parks costs about $7 million yearly. These decisions directly impact local rates and public spending priorities.
