The Salvation Army's annual Christmas Appeal, "Give A Little Joy This Christmas," is crucial this year due to rising hardship.

Over one in five Kiwi children face food insecurity, with the situation worse for Māori and Pacific families. Rising unemployment and the cost of living crisis are pushing more people into need, but donations and government support are dwindling.

Despite this, The Salvation Army continues to provide vital services, including food, counselling, and lifestyle programmes. Donations, no matter the size, bring long-term change to families, ensuring joy this Christmas and beyond.

Property valuations are in the mail. Our valuer, Opteon, says they are generally similar to what they were in the previous valuation, done in 2021.

The rating valuation of every property in the District as at 1 July 2024 is also available online, via our online rates database search, and a new online valuation map:
🏠 www.wdc.govt.nz...

When we know the total value of all the property in the District, along with the value of each individual property, we can work out what share of the District’s rates to charge each ratepayer.

Key terms:
🏠 Capital value: An approximation of what your property may have sold for as at 1 July 2024, excluding chattels.
🏠 Land value: This is the value of the land as if free from improvements (if you imagined the land to be bare). This is the figure Council uses to set your rates.
🏠 Improvement value: This is the difference between the land value and the capital value.

Opteon is an independent, third-party valuation company. Opteon uses recent property sales data, resource and building consent data, and sample inspections to produce updated market values.

Hundreds of Kiwi children will receive something special this Christmas thanks to Ryman Healthcare’s support of the Catalytic Foundation’s Christmas Shoebox Project.

Instead of giving individual gifts to residents, the idea was to redirect those funds to support struggling New Zealand families having to cut back on essentials.

Ryman residents were overwhelmingly in support of the idea, with many volunteering to help choose the gifts to fill over 1000 shoeboxes with thoughtful items.
