Dear Wellington City Council,

 

I heard that something like 10% of rate payers are currently in arrears
across the city.

 

Can you please provide me information on the rates arrears as at 30
November 2025 please..

 

I would like to know for each of the periods below:

 

1 The total number of rate payers

2 The number of ratepayers in arrears

3 The dollar value of the arrears

4 The dollar weighted average months in arrears

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Matthew Underwood
