Auckland Council
Rates and revenue
The work of local government is funded mainly by property taxes in the local area, known as rates. This makes up around 60% of council expenditure, with the rest coming from user charges, investment income, regulatory fees and roading subsidies. Councils can also borrow money to spread the cost of large investments such as infrastructure over a longer period of time.

Support the current proposed rates rises – but mindful that any rise in rates negatively affects struggling families in Manukau.
Support council's continued efforts to find efficiencies in our spending and costs, throughout the council whānau, including local boards, council-controlled organisations etc.
Support pulling all the available levers to keep the city thriving – a balanced approach needed so rates, debt, asset sales are reasonable.
