Public consultation on Auckland Council’s Emergency Budget has started, closing 19 June.
Public feedback is sought on proposed rates rises, rates relief and what is important to residents in their local communities. Council’s budget forecast has been slashed by $525 million due to COVID-19 so there will be some tough choices ahead. Councillor for Waitemata and Gulf Pippa Coom has put together this statement about the impact it will have across the ward: https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/articles/news/2020/06/emergency-budget-decisions-will-impact-waitemata-and-gulf-says-councillor/
Feel free to contact Pippa directly with questions on 021 926 618 or pippa.coom@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
