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. rates wcc government media Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=44014 Wellington Scoop 2012-04-12T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=42914 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. wcc rates government media Mon, 12 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=42914 Wellington Scoop 2012-03-12T00:00:00Z http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2011/06/setting-rates-for-wellington.html THE WELLINGTON CITY COUNCIL HAS FAILED TO LOOK AFTER THE HOME OWNERS ONCE AGAIN WITH THE SWITCHING OF BUSINESS RATES ONTO YOUR ( THE HOME OWNER'S) RATES BILL. rates wcc government people blogs election-candiates-2010 elections2010 local-body-elections councillors Mon, 20 Jun 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2011/06/setting-rates-for-wellington.html Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future 2011-06-20T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=33273 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.

That will mean another zero rates increase to the owners of commercial buildings and another seven percent increase for home owners. wcc rates government media Fri, 04 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=32393 Wellington Scoop 2011-03-04T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25463 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. wcc rates government media Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25463 Wellington Scoop 2010-06-08T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23342 wcc rates government media Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23342 Wellington Scoop 2010-04-06T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22784 Ratepayers have reason to want more information about the $30million in overdue payments which was owing to the Wellington City Council at the end of its last financial year. wcc rates government media Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22784 Wellington Scoop 2010-03-22T00:00:00Z http://pepptalknz.blogspot.com/2010/03/58-percent-rate-increase-to-wellingtons.html 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.)
