Emergency Budget Rates Question Results

Thankyou to everyone who took the time to submit on the Auckland Council's Emergency Budget. It received the highest number of responses since the SuperCity was formed, with 34,915 submissions across Auckland and 1,545 from Kaipātiki.
Here are the results of the rates increase question for the Kaipātiki Local Board area (bar graphs), and the whole of Auckland (pie chart).
For Kaipātiki, the top bar graph includes all feedback received; the second bar graph excludes pro forma submissions (feedback forms produced by groups).
Even though Council specifically asked about 2.5% vs 3.5% increase, you were able to give feedback on any percentage, and the results reflect that many people did.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
