More pain is on the way for ratepayers as the Selwyn District Council looks set to lock in a 14.2% average rise. For a house valued at $847,000, the rates bill will be $4723. The rise follows a 14.9% average rise in the last financial year and means the same household is paying $1153 more than they were two years ago. Selwyn’s increase is at least double and triple more than its nearest neighbours – Ashburton (7.3%), Christchurch (6.77%), and Waimakariri (4.98%).
