Huge rates increase for Wellington

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Wellingtonians are facing a massive increase in rates. Increasing costs have forced the council to look at a 23 per cent increase.
Mayor Andy Foster recently said the forecast increase looked “horrific”, and was likely to be more than 15 per cent. That would be the largest increase for residential ratepayers since 1995-96, when rates went up 16 per cent.
The increase has been attributed to the loss of income due to the Covid lockdown, the cost of replacing infrastructure, the library upgrade and Let's Get Wellington Moving.
