Council spends $2.55m on 'historically important' Akaroa property

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hey neighbours,

Are you a ratepayer? What are your thoughts on this?

Christchurch ratepayers have paid $2.55 million for a culturally significant Akaroa home – more than twice its rateable value.

Hey neighbours,

Are you a ratepayer? What are your thoughts on this?

Christchurch ratepayers have paid $2.55 million for a culturally significant Akaroa home – more than twice its rateable value.

The Red House, which has a rating valuation of $1.2m, is surrounded by the Takapūneke Reserve, an area of huge importance to Ngāi Tahu and classed as wāhi tapu (a sacred place) by Heritage New Zealand.

The privately-owned home and its surrounding 2864-square-metre garden was due to go to auction on Thursday, but the Christchurch City Council decided in a publicly excluded meeting last week to put in an offer. The auction has since been cancelled.

Do you support this as a good use of ratepayer money?
