Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.

Barking collar charger needed.
Hi folk. Have a small dog staying that barks, a lot!! His mum left the charger for his barking collar down south and we are hoping someone might have a charger that can be borrowed for an hour. It stays charged for over a week so we would only need to borrow it once. Please call Sharee 0223963494 if you can help.
