It's good to know Wellington isn't the only region whose infrastructure is a total shitshow.
30+ years of "no rates raises" council campaigns, which causes kicking the can down the road on infrastructure maintenance and upgrades....
We have had massive rates raises in the last round, to help pay for the water upgrades that we are seeing going in....but ffs the bump was huge.
Yep. The Hutt Valley hasn't been too bad, but I really feel for people in Wellington City.
G'day mate. The cheap newer outer suburbs of Melbourne have weak infrastructure. Sewerage, roads, shops and public transport are often lacking. Probably doctors and schools too.
