Auckland Councillor on potential rate rises for city

From Morning Report, 7:18 am on 21 February 2024

Aucklanders can now have their say on a potential rates hike of up to 14 percent with the Council voting on Tuesday in favour of a 10-year budget document being shared with everyone.

A large portion of the rate rise will come from increased Watercare charges following the government's announcement that it will repeal the Three Waters legislation.

Auckland councillor Shane Henderson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
