How we fund our work

Environment Waikato obtains its income from a variety of sources: general rates, interest income from investments, government grants, separate rates and direct charges.

These graphs show the percentage that different funding sources contribute to our income, and where we spend our funds. 

Environment Waikato's regional rates information has details on how rates are calculated, payment options and penalties, rating scheme descriptions, legal requirements and policy. You can also work out regional rates for your property using our calculation form.
