THE BALLOT RESULT

2022 – 2027

A successful BID has to have ‘buy-in’ from the majority of those businesses who will finance it – both for a successful vote and also to ensure the partnership evolves in a positive environment.

Governed by government legislation and regulations, BIDs are statutorily established once voted for by the majority of businesses in an area and have a maximum term of five years before returning to their electorate for renewal. Once a majority vote has been achieved, a BID levy becomes mandatory on all defined ratepayers.

For a BID to be introduced, the ballot of business must meet two conditions: a majority in number of those voting and a majority in proportion of rateable value of those voting. The BID levy is then applicable to all eligible businesses.

THE BALLOT RESULT JULY 2022

Yes by number of votes:  96%

Yes by rateable value:     97%

Turnout:                           52.5%
