Auckland Council agrees on rates relief for flood stricken properties

From Morning Report, 7:28 am on 28 July 2023

Aucklanders whose homes are uninhabitable due to the summer storms say they're relieved with the rates relief agreed by Auckland Council yesterday.

Hundreds of homes have been red and yellow-stickered, with residents paying rent and also meeting the bills on homes they can't live in.

In the beach settlement of Muriwai, about 140 homes are affected - owners met last night to discuss the rates relief.

Chair of the Muriwai Stickered Residents Group Mike Hibbert spoke to Charlotte Cook.
