Is it an illegal policy, or the perfect deterrent to land-bankers?
That was the clash of perspectives in the Christchurch City Council chamber on Wednesday, as developers and residents presented to councillors about its controversial proposal to significantly hike the rates of vacant central city land.
Prominent developers, including Richard Peebles, Philip Carter, Dean Marshall, and Ernest Duval, told city councillors on Wednesday they were going after the vacant land problem the wrong way. Carter claimed the proposal was illegal.
But, a central city neighbourhood association says the plan will stop land-bankers.
What is the proposal?
- From mid-2022, the council wants to more than double the differential on the “general” component of the rates bill for central city vacant landowners.
- If a site has consented use happening on it, for example a consented temporary car park, it would not be pinged.
- Only sites in the Central City Business Zone or the Central City Mixed Use (South Frame) Zone are part of the proposed hike.
- Sites that are “improved and maintained” in line with the council’s vacant sites improvement guide could apply for a rates remission. - Whether a site is complying will be decided by the council.

Hi, my name is Debbie. I’m moving and I am storing my belongings in a 40ft container, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place I could store the container for 1 year, possibly up to two?

I’m moving and I am storing my belongings in a 40ft container, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place I could store the container for 1 year, possibly up to two?
The container will be heavy, so the area needs to be firm and it needs to have space beside it for a very large truck to come in beside it to offload it.
I am only able to pay $100. Per month.
I’m really keen to hear from anyone who might be able to help,
Thanks heaps
Debbie

City councillors will soon have to decide whether they either increase the $533m budget once again, head back to the drawing board or pause the project.
Council staff are refusing to comment on the spiralling costs, saying more information will be available in the coming weeks.
But the council has advised the Treasury of issues with the budget, a spokesperson for the Government department said. Read more here.
