Local Government Rates Inquiry
The Local Government Rates Inquiry Panel finished its work by 31 July 2007 and forwarded its report to the Minister of Local Government on 3 August 2007.
This website also contains the Inquiry background documents that have been available since February. These provide coverage of the approach taken by the Inquiry Panel, details of the consultation process and the issues of particular interest identified by the Inquiry at that time. The Panel commissioned reports from nine independent parties as well as undertaking their own research. The Panel undertook an extensive consultation programme over a three month period from late February to May 2007. The members travelled around New Zealand holding 14 meetings with mayors, councillors and council officers, 14 meetings with the general public and 12 hui with Maori. Over thirty meetings were held with individuals, government departments, academics and representative groups. The Inquiry received 926 submissions from individuals and organisations. Panel members read each submission. Submissions came from individuals, community groups, farmers and people living in rural areas, people with Māori land interests, companies and people with business interests and local government. Submissions came from throughout New Zealand. All the submissions are available on the website. The Panel members wish to acknowledge the contribution to their work from the large number of people who have met with the Panel as it travelled around New Zealand, and to submitters who took the time to convey their views in writing. Accounts of the meeting discussions and the submissions will continue to be a resource for those considering our report and also provide a reference point in the future. Further Information |
