The true Auckland Council rates rise is an average of 4.5%. – that is the average of what individual ratepayers will PAY.

Mayor Brown’s  2.9% increase is the increase in total rates the Council wants to COLLECT.
The full picture of increases ratepayers face is in the table below [based on figures supplied to me by Auckland Council rates dept.]
