More than 15,000 properties could face a rates rise of at least 35 per cent under Auckland Council plans to boost revenue.

The biggest boost of $28 million would come from a higher rating on land zoned as residential, commercial or industrial which is either vacant or undeveloped.

Council officials estimated 15,500 homes could see their rates rise at least 35 per cent under the plan, with 1,400 business properties facing rises starting at 82 per cent.

The proposal is part of a range of potential tweaks, including a new rate to fund investments to tackle climate change and one to help affordable housing initiatives.

Revel in Routine

Andrea from Eden Terrace

Oh the surety of the coming day
When we rise from our beds
Reaching for the alarm
And raising our weary heads

Getting ready with programmed precision
Turning on the jug
Cutting lunch, getting dressed… View more
Oh the surety of the coming day
When we rise from our beds
Reaching for the alarm
And raising our weary heads

Getting ready with programmed precision
Turning on the jug
Cutting lunch, getting dressed
Pouring boiling water into the mug

Going about our day or night
The only interruption
Is when our transport is delayed
Or technology has caused disruption

Checking out our appearances
To last the work days pace
At last leaving through the door
To start the pre-dinner race

Routine is the new 2021 blessing
Of giving as well as receiving
Value the lessons of the past year
And leave behind 2020 misgivings

Please be sure to check out the Poetry and Prose group
Thank you

Hi neighbours,

Aucklanders will see their rates bills soar 5 per cent to help counteract a $1 billion fall in council revenue over the next four years.

The one-off hike, up from a planned 3.5 per cent increase, will add $36 to the rates bill of an average value home before annual increases return to the previous path of 3.5 per cent rises.

The proposed increase is included in the update of Auckland Council's 10-year budget, which starts in July.

Please put NFP if you do not want your comments used by Stuff.

All seven council-owned splashpads across Tāmaki Makaurau will be open over the summer, despite water restrictions in place due to the drought.

Meanwhile, locals will be pinged for using a hose without the correct nozzle.

The council says splashpads recycle a high percentage of water, and the centres themselves have made significant water savings in the last nine months.
