Submit on the Wellington City Council Community Draft Annual Plan now. Don’t dither!
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- Submit on the Wellington City Council Community Draft Annual Plan now. Don’t dither! Democracy only works when we all participate. With low turnouts at election time and poor participation rates in the Council Community Annual and Long Term Council Community Plans, outcomes can get distorted. If you don’t vote and participate in the process then you shouldn’t complain about the outcome.

- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- Actually the rate increase is closer to 6.5 percent to the residents if you take into account the swimming pool improvements proposed as an option in the DAP (Draft Annual Plan.) The total rate increase including the commercial and residential sector is quoted as 2.8 percent but when the sectors are broken down the commercial is zero and the residential is 6 percent or 6.5 percent depending on the final fix in the DAP.
