Environment Canterbury’s 8.9 per cent total rates rise in draft plan

There is “no fat” at “lean machine” ECan, but our Regional Council is proposing an 8.9 per cent rates rise for the coming year, after previously forecasting a rise of 5.1 per cent. ECan’s chair is then quoted saying if a ’roundly supported’ 3 per cent for public transport is taken out of the rise it’s only 5.9 percent. Consultation on ECan’s draft annual plan begins next Monday – hopefully there’ll be more clarity in the consultation documents.
