A report will be provided back to council on January 29 2024, where it will consider the proposed efficiency measures and Special Rate Variation options and determine if it proceeds with an application to IPART by its deadline of February 5 2024.
Council's departing Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Dunshea, said it was important to give more people the chance to make comments on such important issues.
"Council appreciates the feedback that is coming in through submissions to date and in response to a number of requests for further time to make a submission, including representations from local members of parliament on behalf a ratepayers," Mr Dunshea previously said.
"I have agreed to extend the timeframe for community feedback into these incredibly important decisions that the Council need to make to secure the financial stability of the organisation."
