Sir Bob Jones: COUNCILS – Wellington and Auckland compared


My company owns 20 prime location Wellington CBD office buildings.

In Auckland it has nine, also in absolute prime locations, but larger, totalling almost the same rental areas.

Our total Council annual rates bill in Wellington is $8.3million. In Auckland it’s $2.4million.

So Aucklanders, moan about the non-stop rain but don’t grumble about your Council and mayor. You don’t know how lucky you are.

Clearly we need a significant increase in commercial sector rates in Auckland
