City Centre Targeted Rate

We are working to make the city centre a better place to work, live, visit and do business.

The City Centre Targeted Rate (CCTR) is paid by commercial and residential property owners in the city centre to help us:

• pay for improvements in the area
• implement the City Centre Masterplan.

The City Centre Advisory Panel makes recommendations for how the CCTR is spent.

The current CCTR applies until the 2030/2031 financial year.
