Mayor Andy Foster recently said the forecast increase looked “horrific”, and was likely to be more than 15 per cent. That would be the largest increase for residential ratepayers since 1995-96, when rates went up 16 per cent.
The increase has been attributed to the loss of income due to the Covid lockdown, the cost of replacing infrastructure, the library upgrade and Let's Get Wellington Moving.
