Financial spending by WCC

Sham Pancha made this Official Information request to Wellington City Council

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Sham Pancha to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Sham Pancha

Dear Wellington City Council,
I am really concerned about the WCC increasing rates while we are all above over our heads with inflation and ridiculous cost of living. There was an article on stuff on 9 Feb on "Creatives a top priority for city's new mayor". I am just stunned with our broken public transportation in the city, crime, broken infrastructure the spending priority is for creatives.

I am concerned on what are the priorities of WCC and where do the council see costs being reduced?
Could you please explain the following and the above:

What proportion of my rates goes to what projects?
How did you prioritise the projects?
What savings have you made to reduce my rates bill?
How much do we pay WREDA each year?
How much do we pay the Council Controlled Organisations each year?
How many staff does the WCC employ, what are their titles, and what are their salary ranges? How much does WCC spend a year on staff?
Why buying a $13m car park building in Newtown was important?

I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Sham Pancha
