FAIRER RATES Protest March

Papamoa Residents & Ratepayers Association

Ratepayer Protest for Fairer Rates organised by TRA.
When: Monday 26 July 2021
Where: Strand carpark downtown Tauranga

Time: 12.30pm

Parking at Sulphur Point with shuttle bus.

March to Council Chambers, bring something to make lots of noise. Drown out the council meeting ratifying the high rates rises needed for the next Long Term Plan.

Why should the ordinary ratepayer pay for growth when the existing city needs investment in roads and bridges and new amenities? These high rate rises continue every year for the next 10 years.

In 10 years this Long Term Plan it will "Double your rates and triple the city's debt".

LTP = Long Time Poor

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
