Important Rates Relief Information

The Team from Deborah Russell, MP for New Lynn

Auckland Council has advised that around 3000 letters were sent out to ratepayers who own property that has been white, yellow, or red stickered.
Ratepayers who receive this letter can apply for the rates relief fund by visiting aucklandcouncil.smartygrants.com.au... and completing the easy/simple application.
Submissions close at 10pm on 28 April 2023.
Ratepayers will be eligible for support if their property is both:
• uninhabitable
• has a red, yellow or white placard against the property.
Those who have applied for a hardship grant under the emergency relief fund for non-rates related support can apply again to this fund.
If residents did not receive a letter but feel that they should have, they can either email erfgrants@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or call our call centre on 09 301 0101 for guidance and assistance regarding the grant.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
