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!

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.

Gardening work
I'm looking for someone to help get the Wisteria under control and deal with all the weeds. I have a small courtyard type garden with a few shrubs and small fruit trees with gravel underneath but the weeds grow on to of the gravel. I'm keen to deal with this tomorrow, Friday 9th and over the weekend if you're interested in work.
