The Local Body Rates Heist thread

Same here in good old Blenheim… our water infrastructure is pretty good. Again we were lumped with 3 waters stuff when ours is in good shape, such a waste of money. Bit jealous of ur shiny new dam tho!! Now that was a good investment.

Labour wanted to dump us into 3 Waters with Wellington to pay for their pathetic infrastructure management. Good riddance.
You’re not wrong about the Waimea Dam. It’s a game changer for wineries (and everyone else) around the Tasman . I hope the Government will make dam building around the country, (Otago, Canterbury, Marlborough, southern Hawkes Bay, Gisborne for example) part of their fast track projects. It’s ridiculous that we as an agricultural country, go through regular droughts while we let 85% of our rain water flow out to sea.
