WELLINGTON CITY

Ever wondered what it would be like to be in charge of the city's finances? Now you have the opportunity to find out.

As part of our consultation on the draft Long Term Plan, we've launched an online budget calculator that lets you experiment with the Council's budgets. The calculator allows you to see what would happen to the rates you would pay if you increased or decreased spending on different activities.


If you use the calculator, be sure to submit the budget you would be happy with, as councillors will use these to help them decide on expenditure in the draft Long Term Plan.

Consultation on the draft Long Term Plan closes on 18 May.

You can also make a written submission. For more information about the plan, the budget calculator and how to make submissions, see:
