Last Week – Nick Lovett and Brendon Harre

Last week we were challenged by Nick Lovett and Brendon Harre who analysed the dead spaces in the Central City and proposed an increase in rates for empty spaces which are currently car parks.

Their proposal was that this additional rating amount be written off against the rates paid by businesses which have built new buildings, to reduce the burden on those who have made a huge financial commitment to Christchurch. It was a compelling presentation. Here is the summary written by Brendon Harre.
