There will be Q&A after each speaker.
All welcome
The aspirations and purpose of Ratepayers NZ means there will be one organisation to be the driver of local government reform and accountability. Rates need to be affordable and explainable to ratepayers; accurate, politically neutral and full information needs to be given to elected Councillors to base their decisions on; public consultation, submissions and engagement should be meaningful - there is a lot that could be improved.
There is no registration fee.
However please email for your registration form and feel free to contact us for any more information.
