Rates keep our towns moving
Rates invoices will be sent to all ratepayers (who have not already paid the year’s rates in full) from 1 May.
We know the Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on many families in our district, but rates are important to keep our district running smoothly – like ensuring households have safe drinking water, wastewater is taken away, rubbish is collected, cemeteries are available, and Civil Defence are on hand.
You can find information on payment options at www.mpdc.govt.nz/rates/payment-options.
If you are struggling or already know that you aren’t going to be able to pay your rates, please call us on 0800 746 467 to discuss options.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
