No 'mates rate' deal for Porirua land deal
Porirua City Council has rejected the claims of a group of landowners, including Greater Wellington Regional councillor Chris Kirk-Burnnand, who felt they should have first dibs on the 6000 square metre property at Motukaraka Point, near Pauatahanui Inlet, for just $180,000.
Kirk-Burnnand and five other neighbours believed that was fair market value for a slice of land deemed rural, which they wanted to carve up between the property owners and add to their existing titles.
They called in the lawyers when it became clear the council was considering selling the land on the open market, with its own valuer appraising the land at $600,000.
