The Southland District Council has approved a 2.31 per cent rate rise.
The rise is less than the council's long term plan forecast of 3.27 per cent, and less again than the 2.65 per cent proposed, which brought criticism from councillors earlier this year.

We encourage people to have a service – whether it be a full funeral, a private family gathering or a memorial service held afterwards. Along with being able to celebrate a loved one’s life, a funeral can assist with the grief and healing process and it provides comfort to those who have gathered.
At Avenal Park Funeral Home, the staff can assist you in ensuring you/your loved one has a meaningful funeral. This can be from designing a personalised casket, to producing an unique service sheet and photo slideshow, through to having elements at the funeral that reflect a person’s life. We respect your needs and wishes.
We are located at 75 Fox Street, Invercargill, phone 03 218 9021 or 0800 033 925 or we can come and visit you in your own home.
