The Christchurch City Council has signed off on a $10.6 billion "back to basics" budget that will increase rates bills by more than half in 10 years.

Ratepayers will also have to pay a special levy of about $6.52 a year for 10 years to cover the council's $10 million contribution to help reinstate the Christ Church Cathedral.

The council has described its long term plan (LTP) as "focusing on the basics" after it decided to spend an extra $48m on wastewater infrastructure, $25m to improve drinking water – including getting rid of the chlorine – and to prioritise improvements to roads and footpaths.
