Poll: Should Central Christchurch housing developers keep getting ratepayer rebates?
Central Christchurch housing developers have received $13 million in rebates from ratepayers in the past six years.
The council is considering whether to continue the scheme designed to encourage post-quake residential development in the CBD or let it expire on June 30.
Developers are calling on the council to continue the scheme, especially if it wants to reach its target of increasing the central city population to 20,000 by 2028, but opponents say the rebate is propping up "wealthy developers" at the expense of ratepayers.
