Facing a 33% rates hike, how would you and your neighbors cope? This week on the Outlet podcast, we're joined by Gill from the Teviot Valley community to unravel the implications of this staggering increase, especially for those with properties valued at $450,000 or more on town water. Gill brings to life the worries of the elderly, many on fixed incomes, who now face crucial decisions about cutting back on essentials like food and electricity. Her passionate community mobilization resulted in an impressive 40% of submissions to the Central Otago District Council's annual plan coming from Teviot Valley, showing that this issue hits home hard.
