SWDC Rates petition
Hi Neighbourly people,
www.parliament.nz...
We are facing a community issue here in the South Wairarapa our Council consulted on rates in the 14% range and then charged us an average of 28%.
Anyone can sign this petition put together by two young rural women concerned about the misrepresentation of our recent rates rise. Residents and non residents can sign, and so if you want to support the local South Wairarapa Community in their fight to get a review of the process of consultation and rates levied, sign it and forward to your friends.
The actual 29.6% was developed by another ratepayer based on LTP numbers and he is prepared to address at Parliament if needed.
Prospective statement of Revenue and Expenses in the LTP on page 108
Rates 2020/21 $15,371,000 - agrees with above previous annual plan
2021/22 $19,921,000 - this is an increase of 29.6% in total rates for South Wairarapa!!
If you support the South Wairarapa community please support this petition.
