The Wellington Ratepayers' Alliance have launched, and we're fighting for Fairer Rates, Better Services, and More Transparency!

Rates across the region have spiralled over the last three years, and show no sign of slowing down.

In just three years, rates have increased:

• 54.67 percent at Greater Wellington Regional Council
• 47.03 percent at Wellington City Council
• 46.92 percent at Upper Hutt City Council
• 44.66 percent at Hutt City Council
• 35.05 percent at Kapiti Coast District Council
• 33.45 percent at Porirua City Council

Residents from across the Greater Wellington region have got together to say 'enough is enough'. No more wasteful spending, vanity projects and closed-door council meetings. Ratepayers pay the bills, so ratepayers need to be councils' first priorities.
