Further cuts have been made to the proposed rates increase for Carterton. Carterton District Council is to meet on Wednesday to adopt its 2025-26 Annual Plan and with it an average rates rise of 5.4%. It was originally signalled to be a 13% rise as per the council’s Long-Term Plan, and then more recently 8.6%. Last month, councillors criticised the impact of the 8.6% rise as urban ratepayers were likely to cop twice that due to a change in how water depreciation was set to be funded.

A Tauranga woman who made a late-night run to Maccas was told by a worker to halve her order and “ration it”. Reremai Cameron filmed her encounter at the Cameron Rd branch of McDonald’s in Tauranga after visiting about 3am on Sunday. She told the Herald she was travelling with two other carloads of mates after a night on the town, with sober drivers delivering tipsy pals for a much-needed fast-food fix.
