What the rate increases mean to you
Maungakiekie-Tamaki Ward Councillor Josephine Bartley discusses the difficulty of talking rate increases with her communities, and the importance of their involvement in decision making.
Even at a 3.5% increase (the average household increase of a $1 a week) community facilities, Auckland Council services and even transport will be affected.
Having less money to spend following the Covid-19 pandemic is an issues that everyone is being asked to help make decisions on. So please get online and learn more about the Emergency Budget, and have a say before the consultation ends on Friday (19 June)

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
