Planning for the future during challenging times
Porirua City, like all councils across the country, is experiencing a sharp increase in costs to deliver services and projects. Increases in the cost of energy, water supply, insurance and interest rates all mean that just providing our core services like rubbish, roading and pipes is costing more. Take a look at some of the challenges we're facing, what we plan to do about them and, what our key focus has been during the LTP planning process so far. You can read the full LTP discussion paper here.

No to water meters
I am totally opposed to water meters. It will cost the Council millions to install and does nothing to improve the poor state of pipe work which is the reason we run short over summer. It costs no more to reticulate 10,000 litres than 1000 litres so why should we pay by volume used? This is just another way to create an income stream for Council and we will all end up using less but paying more just like the Kapiti Coast. -

No more rates increases for 2024
We are already paying a lot of rates. Whatever excuse u say to increase this to 17.5 percent is unjustifiable

Rates increase
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.

Like all local councils, every three years we prepare a Long-term Plan (LTP), including a 30-year infrastructure plan, outlining what we plan to achieve over the next 30 years, and how we’ll pay for it. In the years between Long-term Plans, we develop an Annual Plan that sets out what we want to achieve, and the budget for the year ahead.
