Wellington City Council rates payments by internet banking
Be aware, Wellington ratepayers, the Wellington City Council website seems to indicate that 1.27% is added if you are paying for something online by internet banking. We've had (unexpectedly) a year's worth of Council rates to pay (the direct debit authority we had in place for paying our rates monthly was cancelled, unbeknown to us, in November 2022) and when I went to pay it by internet banking, the template indicated 1.27% would be added (which came to nearly $70). This was not charging to a credit card - just ordinary internet banking. Husband went in and payed at their offices this morning after unsuccessfully trying to pay at a post shop and the Johnsonville Hub yesterday. I would be interested to know if anyone else has been aware of something similar.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
