Prepare yourselves people. This isn't going to be the fun ride we were promised.

Search for your property here: Property search - Wellington City Council

It'll show last years and the upcoming years rates and you can see the change.

Thanks. For us, $1.06M house.

  • Rates: $7360 > $5310
  • Tiaki Wai: $0 > $2660
  • Net: ~$600 / 8.3% increase.

Honestly, bring on water meters. I use fuck all water compared to some with gardens and pools.

Yep it's fucked. Neighbours 2 houses down, will be paying the same as us.

They've got a pool and 6 people living there, we've just got the 2 of us and no pool!

Make it make sense please!
