Commit to a cap on rates increases to prevent insane rate rises with no surprises.

Investigate and roll out a HOP transport app for all public transport rather than continue with antiquated cards.

Advocate for GST exemption on rates and lobby for Auckland Council to set and enforce its own fines.

Educate the public on council budgets, required service trade-offs and how different revenue streams fund council services.

Return to funding core services and business only and keep rates increases to or below the rate of inflation for all rated properties.

Rate every land owner and user equally and ensure no person or organisation is exempt from paying rates.

Invest ratepayer funds wisely in our future and prevent further infrastructure deficits that lead to large rates increases down the line.

Oppose asset sales so that council is more financially sustainable into the future.

Work creatively, including with central government, to broaden council's revenue raising options beyond rates to reduce future increases.
