FYI -Rates Notices out this Saturday 7th October 2017
I have just been listening to todays Council sitting 'live stream' and our rates will be going up, some may go down for the next rates payment.
This is all based on increased Capital Valuations. The places mentioned for potential increases include Fordlands, Selwyn Heights, Western Heights, Koutu...one 'good point' mentioned is that properties in these areas have increased in value which is great according to those sharing this information. More information will follow Saturdays mail out, and you will be able to write to Council if you object. Apparently on average only 1,000 home owners object. I am in Auckland at present but decided to listen into todays meeting.
Kind Regards

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
