flag Tamworth residents face a 3.2% rate rise in 2026-27, the first modest increase after two years of steep hikes.

flag Tamworth ratepayers will face a maximum 3.2% rate increase for 2026-27, a slight drop from last year’s 3.8%, according to NSW IPART. flag The cap, within the state’s 2.5% to 4.2% range, marks a return to standard increases after two years of double-digit hikes, including a 36.3% rise over the past two years. flag The council will not seek a Special Rate Variation, calling the increase fair and aligned with inflation. flag Tamworth’s rate, matching Armidale and Inverell, is lower than Gunnedah, Walcha, and Tenterfield, which include population growth adjustments. flag Residents remain concerned, with some saying the relief is minimal after years of steep increases.
