Waimakariri council proposes 8.94% rates rise in ‘challenging’ year

By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter

Waimakariri ratepayers are being asked for their feedback on an average rates rise of 8.94%

The Waimakariri District Council adopted its "most challenging" long-term plan (LTP) on Tuesday.

Deputy mayor Neville Atkinson, a long serving councillor, said it was the most difficult annual or long term plan he had been involved in.

‘‘We had the earthquakes, but I would suggest this is worse, because there is so much uncertainty around what is going to happen.

‘‘We have people out there who are angry, people who are broke, who are losing their jobs and others who are winning, and we need to balance that.’’

Mayor Dan Gordon said he was pleased council staff had settled on average rates rise of 8.94% ‘‘without compromising our levels of service’’.

‘‘I hear continuous calls from some about having a zero rates rise, but that is just unrealistic.’’

He said the council needed to continue planning for growth, with large roading projects proposed in the LTP such as the Rangiora eastern link road and the Skew bridge upgrade at west Kaiapoi.

Council chief executive Jeff Millward said staff considered delaying the LTP for a year due to changes in Government legislation, but considered it would be detrimental.

‘‘We have already done six months worth of work on this plan, and we are a growth council, so we need to stay relevant.

‘‘If we did take up the option, we would be doing a one-year plan with no future planning and then we would have to go back and do it again next year.’’

The council is planning to spend around $690 million over the next 10 years replacing assets and planning for the district’s rapid growth.

The district’s population is projected to grow from around 70,000 to 82,075 by 2034, based on Stats NZ’s high growth scenario.

The LTP considers how best to manage the natural environment, flood resilience, provision of community facilities, extension of the Rangiora Library and the proposed Rangiora eastern link road.

The proposed Pegasus Community Centre, which was signalled in the 2021 LTP, is set to be built by the end of next year.

The council is also in talks with Canterbury Cricket and Canterbury Country Cricket about extending Mainpower Oval to accommodate more cricket pitches and training facilities.

The draft 2024-34 LTP will go out for consultation from March 15 to April 15, with hearings planned in May.
