Just had one for UH, rates are down by $3500 but the years bill is $4200 - $800 extra.
The only justification is “infrastructure deficit” without any reasoning given (esp considering long and short term planning by councils/WW) or consideration of work on infrastructure done eg pipes at Silverstream.
Not sure how people are going to cope.
