Ratepayer Victory: $5,000-per-metre Waterfront Fence Stopped
The Wellington Ratepayers’ Alliance is welcoming today’s decision by Wellington City councillors to reject council officers’ proposals for a $5,000-per-metre waterfront fence that would have an overall cost of $30 million.
Wellington Ratepayers’ Alliance said:
“This is a win for transparency, accountability, and ratepayers. Councillors deserve credit for standing up to staff pressure and putting a stop to a fence that was completely out of touch with public priorities.”
“When you shine a light on waste, things change. This backdown proves why we need to do what we do.”
