Calculate your Estimated Rates
Here is a link to a excel sheet to enter in your current Upper Hutt and Greater Wellington 23/24 rates and get an estimate of what the rates will be over the next few years.
These are based on the rates from the UHCC and GWC Long Term Plans.
Manual Calulation
Below is a manual calulation what we believe the rates will be according to the Upper Hutt Council Long Term Plan.
Year 1 - 19.93%
Year 2 - 19.94%
Year 3 - 13.89% - Was going to be 19.88%
For those unsure how to work out your rates hope the below helps?
EXAMPLE..
Current Rates now x 1.1993 = XXXXXX
Second year XXXXXX x 1.994 = YYYYYY
Third year YYYYYY x 1.1389 = ZZZZZZ
$2176.00 x 1.1993 = $2,609.68
$2609.68 x 1.1994 = $3130.05
$3131.09 x 1.1389 = $3564.81
Let's hope community groups, renters and businesses will not be to affected at present.
We worked hard as we could as a Community to stop this...and it will be Council record the Comments and the people who had a chance to sign....Wish we could have done more....
