Your friendly local council will ping you well over $10,000 for your reserve contribution if you are in auckland. They are happy to be as greedy as they can be - the power of a monopoly.
While on the topic of the relative worth of local councils. When I added my Auckland city rates bill , the ARC rates bill and the water bill together I am now paying over $3000 per year in rates on my own home. As these until a few years ago were all on the same bill (which I think was just under $2000 five years ago). I am really concerned if Johnny Banks
,the Auckland major, gets approval for his $3,000,000,000 motorway. No one in Auckland could afford to live here, which would of course diminish the traffic congestion somewhat.
