What is the 18% figure referring to? Surely that's not the average rate rise for this year. I am all for well-funded public services, but our rates are so far out of whack in Porirua that I'm not sure this is the answer.

Our recent rates invoice shows an increase of just over 20% for both Porirua and the Greater Wellington Regional Council. This is just unbelievable. Why can't the council cut its spending as well?

This is really going to push people out of Porirua. Homeowners and Renters. 18% rise when costs are so high for everything else.

Kia ora Y R, Thanks for your comment. The indicative rates rise of 18% was discussed at the Council meeting on 14 December 2023 and is the indicative average rates rise in the first year of our Long-term Plan (LTP) based on our current calculations.
Our teams are still working through the details, and we will release full details on our proposed rate increases in March, when we consult with the community on our budgets. Please have a look at the 'Important links' section on this page to view relevant documents and recent announcements from central Government.
