Up, up and away – the city’s annual rates increase
- Wellington Scoop
- Wellington City Councillors are having difficulty making the savings that they’ve been told are necessary. Mayor Wade-Brown announced last week that they have been unable to resist their annual rates increase. They’re proposing an average increase of 4.1 per cent. But this is not what she had earlier announced. Only three weeks before, she’d said that councillors had agreed to cap the rates increase at 3.8 per cent.

We’re waiting to hear how they’ll save $180m
- Wellington Scoop
- Wellington City Councillors spent most of last week trying to make decisions about spending. More accurately: decisions about cutting spending. For the rest of us, the issue is what they’ll decide about the rates. They’ve consistently shown enthusiasm for increasing the rates every year. As a result, as the DomPost reports this morning, Wellington’s rates increased by 86 per cent in the first decade of the new century.

The rates go up, then up and down

- The Wellington City Council yesterday announced an add-on to next year’s budget – an extra $120,000 “to improve community emergency preparedness.” In the same announcement, we’re told that the average rates increase is going up to 4.4 per cent from the previously announced 4.3 per cent. Curiously, the council also tells us that rates increases for homeowners and commercial property owners will be coming down.

Time for homeowners to speak up loudly about the rates burden, urges councilor
- Wellington Scoop
- With the Wellington City Council’s Funding, Activities and Revenue working party finishing its deliberations, the prospect of homeowners being asked to shoulder the rates burden again is almost a foregone conclusion. That will mean another zero rates increase to the owners of commercial buildings and another seven percent increase for home owners.

Who’ll be voting for more annual increases in our rates?
- Wellington Scoop
- Soon after the government announced its tax cuts, the Wellington City Council moved in the opposite direction and announced its annual increase in rates. Last week’s announcement tells us that the rates for Wellington home owners are going up by an average of 5.75 per cent. The increase is even higher than than the figure which the council announced a month ago – when it said that 5.5 per cent was to be the increase for home owners.

5.8 percent Rate increase to Wellington's homeowners and zero to commercial buildings
- 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.

Wellington City Council sets rates for 2007/08-Another election year
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- This is a Council on the run from its own policies and is about to have cardiac arrest. The Deputy Mayor, with his handful of votes that got him elected to Council, senses that CPR might be needed to a Council that is in its death throes now gasping for life with the possibility of an eight percent rate increase to the residents and a two percent increase to the commercial sector.
