Unfortunately, as Horizons Regional Council did not respond to our LGOIMA request, we did not have any data to use in our report. We would recommend reaching out to your local council with your concerns about this lack of transparency, and we hope that these councils reconsider their attitudes towards democratic services and accountability to their ratepayers.

Produced by the New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union each year, the Ratepayers’ Report serves as a tool for Kiwis to compare rates, staffing metrics and debt levels from councils all over the country. Data is collated from LGOIMA requests and council annual reports providing ratepayers with full access to critical information on their local council.
