Important Rates Relief Information

The Team from Deborah Russell, MP for New Lynn

Auckland Council has advised that around 3000 letters were sent out to ratepayers who own property that has been white, yellow, or red stickered.
Ratepayers who receive this letter can apply for the rates relief fund by visiting aucklandcouncil.smartygrants.com.au... and completing the easy/simple application.
Submissions close at 10pm on 28 April 2023.
Ratepayers will be eligible for support if their property is both:
• uninhabitable
• has a red, yellow or white placard against the property.
Those who have applied for a hardship grant under the emergency relief fund for non-rates related support can apply again to this fund.
If residents did not receive a letter but feel that they should have, they can either email erfgrants@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or call our call centre on 09 301 0101 for guidance and assistance regarding the grant.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
