Toby Adams: Hauraki District Mayor on the need for more ways to raise revenue for councils

Update: 2024-11-21

Description

Councils are putting a range of ideas on the table to raise revenue, as they push back against the idea of a cap on rates rises.

Rates shot up by an average of 15% this year.

Local Government New Zealand is proposing a range of options from civil defence levies to accommodation levies.

Hauraki District Mayor Toby Adams told Ryan Bridge some of the options, like congestion charging, won't work for their district.

He says that's why a vast range of solutions is important.
