the tap off, it will have a ripple effect that will lead to more
job losses and significant economic hardship for the city.
It would also put us out of step with the Government’s
approach to the post-COVID recovery, which is to support
employment by continuing to build infrastructure. Much
of what we do is co-funded by Government agencies, for
example, maintenance and renewal of roads.

More work to be done
Another reason we have not included a zero per cent rate
increase option is that the savings required would have a
major impact on significant levels of service. Those levels
were set in the 2018-28 Long Term Plan (LTP) and cannot
be changed without triggering an amendment to the LTP.
We are due to adopt a new LTP next year. That’s when we
can review all our levels of service and do a lot more belt-
tightening if that is what our communities want us to do.
We have a short window to receive your feedback and
would welcome your practical suggestions for how we
can support our city’s recovery and keep the pressure off
rates increases, while still delivering the required levels of
service.
In the meantime, the organisation will continue to look
for savings and ways of reducing the costs that impact on
rates.

Manaaki Mai is a beautiful 50acre piece of land nestled below the ridge that overlooks Purau bay.
Within it you will find native bush walks surrounding the Waituturi stream, orchards, an olive grove,
bird songs aplenty and the occasional weta hidden within kanuka stumps. Amongst this natural
