Subject: [EXTERNAL] Official Information request - Reconciliation of Annual Report $27.45m discrepancy

Dear Hutt City Council,

On page 10 of the Hutt City Council 2020-2021 Annual Report the Chief Executive advises that Council's "underlying net operating result" was a $10.9m deficit. On page 132 the Audited Financial Statements report "Total Comprehensive Revenue & Expenses" of $16.55m (surplus).

1 Can you please advise all the individual components of the adjusting amounts that reconcile the $27.45m difference between the two numbers. For reference:
https://www.huttcity.govt.nz/council/ann...

2 What is the average annual rates cost per household that will generate $27.45m?

Yours faithfully,

Greg Driver

Thank you Greg.

We do not report specific information about the average annual rates cost per household that will generate $27.45m. However Lower Hutt had 37,161 households as reported in the 2018 Census, and you can use this value to estimate the cost per household to generate $27.45m.

In 2021-22, the average rating valuation on residential property (excluding rural properties) in Lower Hutt, with a Capital Value of $630,000, paid $2951 in rates.

I trust this information is of use to you.
