This conference is to bring ratepayers and residents groups together from around New Zealand to form one association. We’d like to invite you to join us!

There will be Q&A after each speaker.
All welcome
The aspirations and purpose of Ratepayers NZ means there will be one organisation to be the driver of local government reform and accountability. Rates need to be affordable and explainable to ratepayers; accurate, politically neutral and full information needs to be given to elected Councillors to base their decisions on; public consultation, submissions and engagement should be meaningful - there is a lot that could be improved.
There is no registration fee.
However please email for your registration form and feel free to contact us for any more information.

Poll: Should upgraded heritage buildings reflect the different eras and updates they’ve gone through over time?
Nelson City Council is working to restore the glasshouse at Broadgreen House, which has begun to crack and buckle.
We want to hear your thoughts: should heritage restoration aim to keep buildings looking as they originally did, or should it reflect the different eras and updates they’ve gone through over time?
Keen for the details? The Nelson Mail has you covered.

0% Yes: Change should be celebrated
