Wellington rates skyrocket
0
The Post reports:
Many Wellington City home owners have received a nasty surprise after new rates costs came out with increases higher than the already-eye-watering planned increases.
My rates have gone up over $900 a year, or just over 20%. This is not due to more investment in water infrastructure. This is due to the Council spending over $300 million on renovating their own town hall, their massively expensive and unpopular golden mile project, the white elephant convention centre, the costly cycleways, $240 million to redevelop Civic Square, $400 million on a sludge transfer system etc etc.
