Rates- who thinks it is right for Porirua homeowners to pay more rates? To subside PCC for everyone else?

Pearl from Titahi Bay

I am very concerned about this amazingly unreal price hike the PCC is talking about implementing! We already have the highest rates. We had a significant rise last year, and now saying 5 percent each year??? For three years?.. Is this even legal?

I am very concerned about this amazingly unreal price hike the PCC is talking about implementing! We already have the highest rates. We had a significant rise last year, and now saying 5 percent each year??? For three years?.. Is this even legal?
So many are struggling to pay our huge rates as they already are. Are PCC trying to get rid of people from Porirua who are in the lower and retired income brackets, and make them move somewhere else?
Why can't the PCC live within the budget they have, (like we have too), and stop spending so much on items that are not essential. Can we see the PCC budget please and its spending?
All of the new building that's been and is, taking place- the PCC is getting a lot more household rates from these as well.
Business and commercial rates- what do these people pay compared to home owners? I have been told their rates are way lower than home owners-is this correct?
What do other people think?

With cooler weather embracing the country, you may find you’re not getting out and about as much. So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.

Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.

The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Work is beginning today on installing a community water station at Berhampore Nursery, Wellington.

Right now we’re constructing several of the 22 water stations around the region.

Our teams got together with Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO) and the four city councils last week to develop operational plans for distributing water from these sites.

A visit to our pilot site at Korokoro was a great opportunity to view equipment, and gave councils more insight on how the emergency water supply will work.

For more information about where the water stations will be and how they will operate check out wellingtonwater.co.nz...

Remember, the water stations will only operate from day 8 following an earthquake.

For the first 7 days you will be relying on your own stored water at home. You need 20 litres of stored water for every person, every day – for at least 7 days.
