Changes to other Business Improvement District targeted rates
In response to COVID-19, the following BIDs, along with the proposed Central Park Henderson BID, have voted
to decrease their grant budget for 2020/2021. The setting of the BID targeted rates for 2020/2021 will
incorporate these changes.

Section Six: Your rates for 2020/2021
How we set your rates
Each year after considering your feedback we determine the level of services we are going to provide and how
much revenue we wil need. Our rates revenue requirement is determined by the amount of spending needed to
fund our services less revenue we receive from other sources. Rates are then shared across all ratepayers
primarily based on the capital value of their property and at different levels depending on how their property is
used and its location.
Rates revenue requirement
The council provides a wide range of infrastructure, facilities and services to Auckland residents and
businesses. Some of these are funded by:
• payments from service users to visit our attractions like the zoo, tickets to travel on public transport and fees
for building consents
• dividends from the investments we hold on your behalf like our shares in Auckland International Airport
Limited and Ports of Auckland
• grants from the New Zealand Transport Agency and revenue from the regional fuel tax to help us build vital
transport infrastructure and run your public transport
• targeted rates applied to al properties with revenue set aside for investment in specific activities like the
water quality targeted rate.
• targeted rates for services provided to individual properties, such as waste col ection
We fund the remainder of services with rates which usually provide around 40 per cent of our revenue.
General rates are used to fund council activities and services where:
• we can’t charge individuals who benefit, like roads and stormwater
• there are no alternative funding sources (as identified above)
• the council wishes to subsidise the activity due to its wider social benefits.
Targeted rates are used to fund services that benefit specific users or to provide additional transparency on how
the rates are spent. Examples are:
• waste management rate for recycling and other services to households who are provided the services
• water quality targeted rate we collect from al ratepayers to fund investment in improving the quality of
Auckland’s waterways.
Each year new properties are added to our rating base as land is subdivided and houses and buildings are
constructed. This growth adds to our revenue as the new owners take up a share of the costs.
How we share out the general rates revenue requirement between property owners
The ful detail of all the rates discussed below is set out in our Funding Impact Statement in Section 6.1 of the
Supporting Information.
Fixed charge for every property – Uniform annual general charge
Al properties pay a fixed charge cal ed the Uniform Annual General Charge (UAGC). This ensures that every
property makes a minimum contribution towards the city’s costs. We charge a UAGC for each separately used
Auckland Council Emergency Budget 2020/2021
Supporting Information
81
Section Six: Your rates for 2020/2021
or inhabited part of a rating unit (SUIP), for example each shop in a shopping mall and both the main house and
an attached minor dwel ing/granny flat.
Every year we increase the UAGC by the average general rates increase. This ensures that the revenue raised
through the UAGC remains around 13.4 per cent of the total general rates revenue. If we raise general rates by
3.5 per cent the UACG wil be $439 and if the increases is 2.5 per cent the UAGC wil be $435.
Value based general rate – cents in the dol ar of capital value
We share the remainder of the general rates requirement (after the revenue to be raised through the UAGC is
deducted) amongst property owners based on capital value (the sum of land value and improvements). This is
charged at different levels depending on how the property is used and where it is located. A property with a
higher capital value wil pay a greater share of the rates requirement than its lower value neighbour. We set a
rate per dol ar of capital value rate for each property based on where it is located and how it is used, see below.
The value-based rate you pay is the sum of your property’s value times the rate in dollar rate.
For example, the general rates cents in the dollar for an urban residential property will be 0.00195421 per dollar
of capital value for 2020/2021. A property with a capital value of $1,000,000 would pay a value based general
rate of $1,954.21.
$1,000,000 times 0.00195421 = $1,954.21.
Location based rate
Urban properties, both business and residential have greater access to council services than rural properties.
We therefore charge rural business and rural residential properties 90 per cent of the value based general rate
we set for urban business and urban residential properties. Farm/lifestyle properties are charged 80 per cent of
the urban residential rate as they tend to be more remote and have less access to our services which are mainly
located in the metropolitan areas.
For example, our farm/lifestyle rate for 2020/2021 is:
Urban residential rate 0.00195421 times 80 per cent = 0.00156337
Business rates and the Long-term differential strategy (LTDS)
Properties used for business purposes place more demand on council services and are better able to afford
rates in part because they can claim back GST and expense rates against income tax. The council has
therefore decided to charge higher rates for business properties.
When Auckland Council was established in 2010 all the former councils charged business properties higher
rates. While we consider business properties should pay more, we think the level of charges is too high and we
are gradual y reducing them over time. To lower them faster would mean much higher increases for residential
and other properties which may not be affordable for some ratepayers.
Our long-term differential strategy (LTDS) is gradual y reducing the share of our general rates requirement we
collect from business properties from around 32 per cent in 2020/2021 to 25.8 per cent in 2037/2038.
Our current policy seeks to achieve this by applying a higher than average rates increase to residential
ratepayers each year, and a lower than average increase to business ratepayers. The timing of the reduction is
designed to see residential rates rise by no more than 0.5 per cent above the underlying general rates increase
and business rates rise by no more than 1.0 per cent less than the general rates increase.
This year the rates for business properties wil be 0.00541065 per dollar of capital value, subject to changes to
property data until 30 June. A property used for business purposes with a capital value of $10,000,000 would
pay $541,065 dollars in value based general rate.
$10,000,000 capital value time 0.00541065 = $541,065

Universally applied targeted rates
We have two targeted rates paid by al ratepayers, the natural environment targeted rate and water quality
targeted rate. These rates apply universally and the revenue they raise is set aside for investments to improve
the water quality in Auckland’s harbours and waterways and the quality of our natural environment.
When we set these rates, we planned to col ect the same amount of the rate from existing ratepayers each year.
The cents in the dollar remains constant each year. How much we col ect only grows as new properties are built
and join the city. For residential and farm/lifestyle properties the water quality targeted rate is set at 0.00006076
per dol ar of capital value and the natural environment targeted rate is set at 0.00004326 per dol ar of capital
value.
The rate in the dol ar for businesses for these rates was set so that we would col ect 25.8 per cent of the
revenue requirement from business properties in the first year we struck the rates, 2017/2018. We chose this
share as it was as the target share of the general rate, we set out to achieve in 2037/2038 in our long-term
differential strategy. This business rate stays the same each year. For residential and farm/lifestyle properties
the water quality targeted rate is set at 0.00010677 per dollar of capital value and the natural environment
targeted rate is set at 0.00007603 per dol ar of capital value.
Service based targeted rates
We also charge a fixed targeted rate to supply recycling and waste management services across the city and a
fixed refuse rate for a weekly rubbish collection in the former Auckland City (ACC) and Manukau City Council
(MCC) areas. For 2020/2021 this is proposed to be $141.03
The base service waste management targeted rate is charged to each SUIP or in the former ACC area per
service available. The refuse targeted rate is charged per SUIP in the former MCC area and per service
available in the former ACC area. For 2020/2021 this is proposed to be $141.60.
Other targeted rates
We also have a range of other targeted rates that apply in some parts of the region or to some ratepayers.
These rates cover only the cost of the services provided to these ratepayers. You can read about these rates in
our Funding Impact Statement in Section 6.1 of this Supporting Information document.
How your rates are changing in 2020/2021
Value based rates and the Uniform Annual General Charge
As part of this consultation we are proposing two different options for general rates for 2020/2021, 3.5 or 2.5 per
cent. Decisions on the level of the general rates increase and other targeted rates wil affect how much your
rates wil change.
This year the LTDS is moving to its next step. We are lowering the share of general rates we will collect from
businesses from 32 per cent last year to 31.68 per cent this year. Because we are collecting less rates from
businesses residential and farm/lifestyle ratepayers wil have a general rate increase slightly higher than either
3.5 or 2.5 per cent.
However, as the growth of business properties was slower than growth in residential properties the changes in
rates for these groups is less than the limits (+0.5 per cent for residential properties and -1.0 percent for
business properties) we set when this policy (the long-term differential strategy) was established. The share of
the general rates requirement we have shifted to residential ratepayers is spread over more properties meaning
the additional increase is lower than we forecast.

Section Six: Your rates for 2020/2021
Water quality and Natural environment targeted rates
The targeted rates for water quality and natural environment aren’t increasing.
Waste management rates
After considering feedback from consultation undertaken earlier this year, we have decided, subject to further
feedback, to raise our waste management rate across the city and our refuse rate for the former Auckland City
Council and Manukau City Council areas.
The revenue we receive for recyclable materials is falling and our costs of providing the inorganic services are
rising as more residents use the service. As a result, the cost of providing this core service has risen and we
therefore intent to increase the base service waste management targeted to cover this subject to any further
feedback.
We have also had to enter into a new contractual agreement for the col ection of refuse in the former Auckland
City Council (ACC) and Manukau City Council (MCC) areas to replace our previous long-term col ection
contract. The cost of the new contract has risen, and the refuse rate wil also be increasing in these areas to
cover the cost subject to any further feedback.
Other parts of the city pay for their refuse collection with $3.95 bin tags each time they put their rubbish out. If a
resident in another part of the city put their refuse bin out 52 weeks a year the cost would be $205. If they put
their bin out the average for these areas of 36 times per year they would pay $142 annually. On average, the
cost of refuse col ection for people in ACC and MCC would be comparable to those in other parts of the city.
Impact on the average ratepayer
The fol owing tables show how each of these rates changes wil impact on the rates for the average value
residential, business and farm/lifestyle property under each option for the general rates increase.
The tables show how each proposed change in rates impacts on the overal rates bil . It also shows why the
change in overal rates is lower than the general rates increase.
The percentage change in rates for the combined average rates for ACC and MCC is lower as the average
property values are higher. While the dol ar amounts are higher, they are proportionately less.

6.1 Prospective funding impact statement
Rating mechanism
This section sets out how the council sets its rates for 2020/2021. It explains the basis on which rating liability
will be assessed. In addition, it covers the council’s early payment discount policy.
Background
The council’s general rate is made up of the Uniform Annual General Charge (UAGC) and the value-based
general rate. Revenue from the general rate is used to fund the council activities that are deemed to generally
and equally benefit Auckland and that part of activities that are not funded by other sources.
Rating base information
The following table sets out the forecast rating base for Auckland Council as at 30 June 2020.
Capital value ($)
756,192,014,512
Land value ($)
501,639,198,821
Rating units
579,613
Separately used or inhabited parts of a property
651,050
How the increase in the rate requirement is applied
The increase in the general rate requirement is split to maintain the proportion of the UAGC at around 13.4 per
cent of the total general rate (UAGC plus value based general rates). This is achieved by applying the general
rates increase to the UAGC and rounding to the nearest dollar.
Uniform annual general charge (UAGC) and other fixed rates
The UAGC is a fixed rate that is used to fund general council activities. The council wil apply the UAGC to all
rateable land in the region per separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit (SUIP). The definition of a
separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit is set out in the following section.
Where two or more rating units are contiguous or separated only by a road, railway, drain, water race, river, or
stream, are owned by the same person or persons, and are used jointly as a single unit, the ratepayer will be
liable for only one uniform annual general charge.
The council will also set the following targeted rates which wil have a fixed rate component:
Waste management targeted rate
part of some Business Improvement District targeted rates
City centre targeted rate for residential properties
Point Wells wastewater targeted rate
Jackson Crescent wastewater targeted rate
Riverhaven Drive targeted rate
Waitākere rural sewerage targeted rate

Funds raised by uniform fixed rates, which include the UAGC and any targeted rate set on a uniform fixed
basis1, cannot exceed 30 per cent of total rates revenue sought by the council for the year (under Section 21 of
Local Government (Rating) Act 2002).
A UAGC of $439 (including GST) will be applied per SUIP for 2020/2021. This is estimated to produce around
$243.4 million (excluding GST) for 2020/2021.
The definition of a separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit
The council defines a separately used or inhabited part (SUIP) of a rating unit as ‘any part of a rating unit that is
separately used or inhabited by the ratepayer, or by any other person having a right to use or inhabit that part by
virtue of a tenancy, lease, licence or any other agreement’. For the purposes of this definition, parts of a rating
unit will be treated as separately used if they come within different differential categories, which are based on
use. An example would be a rating unit that has a shop on the ground floor (which would be rated as business)
and a residence upstairs (rated as residential).
Rating units used for commercial accommodation purposes, such as motels and hotels, will be treated for rating
purposes as having one separately used or inhabited part, unless there are multiple businesses within the rating
unit or another rating differential applies. Examples of how this might apply in practice are as follows:
a business operating a motel on a rating unit will be treated for rating purposes as a single separately used
or inhabited part. If that rating unit also includes a residential unit, in which the manager or owner resides,
then the rating unit will be treated for rating purposes as having two separately used or inhabited parts
a hotel will be treated for rating purposes as a single separately used or inhabited part, irrespective of the
number of rooms. If, on the premises, there is a florist business and a souvenir business, then the rating
unit will be treated for rating purposes as having three separately used or inhabited parts.
A similar approach applies to universities, hospitals, rest homes and storage container businesses. Vacant land
will be treated for rating purposes as having one separately used or inhabited part.
Rating units that have licence to occupy titles, such as some retirement villages or rest homes, wil be treated as
having a separately used or inhabited part for each part of the property covered by a licence to occupy.
The above definition applies for the purposes of the UAGC as wel as any targeted rate which is set on a “per
SUIP” basis.
Value-based general rate
The value-based general rate will apply to all rateable land in the region and will be assessed on capital value
and is assessed by multiplying the capital value of a rating unit by the rate per dol ar that applies to that
ratepayer differential group.
Rates differentials
General and targeted rates can be charged on a differential basis. This means that a differential is applied to the
rate or rates so that some ratepayers may pay more or less than others with the same value rating unit.
The differential for urban residential land is set at 1.00. Business land attracts higher rates differentials than
residential land. Lower differentials are applied to rural, farm/lifestyle and no road access land.

6.1 Prospective funding impact statement
The council defines its rates differential categories using location and the use to which the land is put. When
determining the use to which the land is put, the council will consider information it holds concerning the actual
use of the land, and the land use classification that council has determined applies to the property under the
Rating Valuation Rules.
Where there is no actual use of the land (i.e. the land is vacant), the council considers the location of the land
and the highest and best use of the land to determine the appropriate rates differential. Highest and best use is
determined by the activities that are permitted, control ed, or discretionary for the area in which the land is
situated, and the rules to which the land is subject under an operative district plan or regional plan under the
Resource Management Act 1991.
The definition for each rates differential category is listed in the table below. For clarity, where different parts of
a rating unit fall within different differential categories then rates wil be assessed for each part according to its
differential category. Each part will also be classified as being a separate SUIP (see definition above).

Notes to table:
1.
Hotels, motels, serviced apartments, boarding houses and hostels will be rated as business except when the land is used exclusively
or almost exclusively for residential purposes. Ratepayers must provide proof of long-term stay (at least 90 days) as at 30 June of the
previous financial year. Proof should be in the form of a residential tenancy agreement or similar documentation.
2.
Utility networks are classed as rural business differential. However, all other utility rating units are categorised based on their land use
and location.
3.
To be considered “lifestyle”, land must be in a rural or semi-rural area, must be predominantly used for residential purposes, must be
larger than an ordinary residential allotment, and must be used for some small-scale non-commercial rural activity.
4.
The Urban Rating Area includes land in the Metropolitan Urban Limit (MUL2010 as defined in the Auckland Regional Policy Statement)
as well as land within Pukekohe township. It also includes around 400 properties outside these areas where the Urban Rating Area has
been extended in Pukekohe West (Franklin), East Tāmaki Heights (Howick), Takanini (Papakura), The Gardens (Manurewa), East
Tāmaki (Howick), Papatoetoe (Manukau). You can view a map of the Urban Rating Area at www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/rates or at
any Auckland Council library or service centre.
The long-term differential strategy
In 2020/2021 the business differential ratios will be set so that 31.68 per cent of general rates (UAGC and
value-based general rate) come from businesses.
The table below sets out the rates differentials and rates in the dollar of capital value to be applied in 2020/2021.
This is estimated to produce around $1,522.3 million (excluding GST) for 2020/2021.

Rates for Watercare land and defence land will be assessed on land value as required under section 22 of the
Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 and Section 73 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009.
These properties will pay a share of the value-based general rates requirement determined on their share of the
city’s land value rather than a share of the city’s capital value as applies for other properties.
Targeted rates
The council does not have a lump sum contribution policy and will not invite lump sum contributions for any
targeted rate. Unless otherwise stated, the targeted rates described below wil be used as sources of funding for
each year until 2027/2028.
Water Quality Targeted Rate
Background
The council is funding an additional investment from 2018/2019 to 2027/2028 to clean up Auckland’s
waterways. The rate will fund expenditure within the following activities: Stormwater Management.
Activities to be funded

Section Six: Your rates for 2020
6.1 Prospective funding impact statement
How the rate will be assessed
A differentiated targeted rate will be applied on the capital value of all rateable land except land categorised as
zero-rated as defined for rating purposes. The business differential ratio will be set so that 25.8 per cent of the
revenue requirement comes from businesses. A targeted rate of $0.00010677 (including GST) per dollar of
capital value will be applied to all rateable land categorised as business (Urban business and Rural business)
as defined for rating purposes, and $0.00006076 (including GST) per dollar of capital value to all rateable land
not categorised as business (Urban residential, Rural residential, Farm and lifestyle, Urban moderate-
occupancy online accommodation provider, Rural moderate-occupancy online accommodation provider, Urban
medium-occupancy online accommodation provider, Rural medium-occupancy online accommodation provider,
and No road access) as defined for rating purposes. This is estimated to produce around $42.3 million
(excluding GST) for 2020/2021, $10.7 million from business and $31.6 million from non-business.
Natural Environment Targeted Rate
Background
The council is funding an additional investment from 2018/2019 to 2027/2028 to enhance Auckland’s natural
environment. The rate will fund expenditure within the following activities: Regional environmental services.
Activities to be funded
The Natural Environment Targeted Rate (NETR) will be used to help fund the capital and operating costs of
investment to deliver enhanced environmental outcomes.
How the rate will be assessed
A differentiated targeted rate will be applied on the capital value of all rateable land except land categorised as
zero-rated as defined for rating purposes. The business differential ratio will be set so that 25.8 per cent of the
revenue requirement comes from businesses. A targeted rate of $0.00007603 (including GST) per dollar of
capital value will be applied to all rateable land categorised as business (Urban business and Rural business)
as defined for rating purposes, and $0.00004326 (including GST) per dollar of capital value to all rateable land
not categorised as business (Urban residential, Rural residential, Farm and lifestyle, Urban moderate-
occupancy online accommodation provider, Rural moderate-occupancy online accommodation provider, Urban
medium-occupancy online accommodation provider, Rural medium-occupancy online accommodation provider,
and No road access) as defined for rating purposes. This is estimated to produce around $30.1 million
(excluding GST) for 2020/2021, $7.6 million from business and $22.5 million from non-business.
Waste Management targeted rate
Background
The benefit of the provision of waste management services in public areas e.g. public litter bins is funded
through the general rate. Privately generated waste is funded through a mixture of targeted rates and pay as
you throw charges.
The refuse, recycling, inorganic collection and other waste management services in Auckland are being
standardised under the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP). The food scraps collection
service is currently available in Papakura and some parts of Northcote, Milford and Takapuna. This is scheduled
to be rolled out to the whole of urban Auckland from 2021/2022.
Solid waste targeted rates for 2020/2021 include:
a region-wide base rate to cover the cost of recycling, inorganic collection, resource recovery centres, the
Hauraki Gulf Islands subsidy and other regional waste services
Auckland Council Emergency Budget 2020/2021
Supporting Information
94
Section Six: Your rates for 2020
6.1 Prospective funding impact statement
a standard refuse rate will apply in the former Auckland City and the former Manukau City to fund refuse
collection
an additional targeted rate for Papakura and parts of North Shore to cover the cost of the food scraps
collection
additional rates may apply to properties that request additional recycling or refuse services.
Where user charges currently apply, these will continue.
The council is implementing the Auckland WMMP. Information on the plan can be found on the council’s
website.
Activities to be funded
The targeted rate for waste management is used to fund refuse collection and disposal services (including the
inorganic refuse col ection), recycling, food scraps collection, waste transfer stations and resource recovery
centres within the solid waste and environmental services activity.
How the rate will be assessed
For land outside of the district of the former Auckland City Council where a service is provided or available, the
targeted rate for the base service and the standard refuse service (for the former Manukau City) and the food
scraps service (for the former Papakura District and the previous food scraps trial area in Northcote, Milford and
Takapuna), will be charged on a per SUIP basis. See the UAGC section prior for the council’s definition of a
SUIP. The standard refuse service includes one 120 litre refuse bin (or equivalent).
For land within the district of the former Auckland City Council, the targeted rate for the base service and the
standard refuse service will be charged based of the number and type of services supplied or available to each
rating unit. For rating units made up of one SUIP, the council will provide one refuse collection service. For
rating units made up of more than one SUIP, the council will provide the same service as was provided at 30
June 2019, unless otherwise informed by the owner of the rating unit (that is, at least one base service and one
refuse collection service). Land which has an approved alternative service will be charged the waste service
charge that excludes the approved alternative service or services. See sample properties at the end of this
section for examples on how these apply.
For land within the former district of Auckland City and Manukau City, a large refuse rate will apply, on top of the
standard refuse rate, if a 240 litre refuse bin is supplied instead of the standard 120 litre bin.
For all land across Auckland, an additional recycling rate will apply if an additional recycling service is supplied.
In the future, the waste management targeted rate may be adjusted to reflect changes in the nature of services
and the costs of providing waste management services to reflect the implementation of the Auckland Waste
Management and Minimisation Plan.
The following table sets out the waste management targeted rates to be applied in 2020/2021. This is estimated
to produce around $106.7 million (excluding GST) for 2020/2021.

Accommodation provider targeted rate
Background
Auckland Council, through Auckland Tourism, Events, and Economic Development (ATEED), has a strong
focus on developing Auckland’s visitor economy into a sustainable year-round industry, including working with
industry partners such as Tourism New Zealand and Auckland International Airport Limited to attract high-value
visitors, and facilitating the establishment of world-class attractions. The Auckland Convention Bureau team
attracts business events which inject millions annually into the economy.
ATEED is also focused on continuing to expand Auckland as a world-leading events city through attracting,
delivering and/or supporting an annual portfolio of more than 30 major events.
Due to COVID-19, ATEED’s visitor attraction and major events expenditure has been reduced. Once travel
restrictions are lifted investment in visitor attraction and major events expenditure will be key to revitalising the
tourism sector. For 2020/2021 the council proposes to set the accommodation provider targeted rate at a level
that reflects ATEED’s reduced expenditure on visitor attraction and major events. The council is also proposing

Activities to be funded
The Accommodation provider targeted rate will be used to help part fund the costs of visitor attraction, major
events and destination and marketing which are part of council’s “economic growth and visitor economy”
activity.
How the rate will be assessed
A differentiated targeted rate will be assessed on capital value and applied to all rateable land in Zones A and B
defined as business, moderate-occupancy online accommodation provider, and medium-occupancy online
accommodation provider for rating purposes operated as Tier one, two, three, four, five, or six accommodation.
The capital value to which the targeted rate applies excludes the value of the portion not attributable to the
provision of commercial accommodation.
The rate will be differentiated by provider type and by location as laid out below.
Provider type
The rate will be differentiated by provider type as described in the categories of accommodation below:
1. hotels
2. motels and motor inns
3. lodges
4. pub accommodation
5. serviced apartments
6. campgrounds, motor parks, and holiday parks
7. backpackers and short stay hostels
8. bed and breakfasts and homestays.

based accommodation services that offer short-term rental accommodation via peer-to-peer online marketplace
such as Airbnb and bookabach, for more than 180 nights in the 12 months ending 30 June of the previous
financial year)
10. moderate-occupancy online accommodation provider (residences let out on a short-term basis, via online
web-based accommodation services that offer short-term rental accommodation via peer-to-peer online
marketplace such as Airbnb and bookabach, for more than 135 nights and less than 181 nights in the 12

web-based accommodation services that offer short-term rental accommodation via peer-to-peer online
marketplace such as Airbnb and bookabach, for more than 28 nights and less than 136 nights in the 12
months ending 30 June of the previous financial year)
Long-stay residential accommodation is excluded from liability for the rate. Note that some motor inns,
campgrounds, motor parks or holiday parks may be primarily long-stay accommodation and treated accordingly
where appropriate supporting evidence can be provided. Additionally, any portion of commercial
accommodation contracted for emergency housing by the Ministry of Social Development will be excluded from
liability for the rate.

Where an accommodation operator offers differing accommodation types from one establishment then the
different parts should be treated according to their differential category use. For example, many campgrounds,
motor parks, and holiday parks offer a mixture of self-contained units (similar to motels), cabins (similar to
backpackers), and camp sites.
Provider types will be grouped into the fol owing seven tiers:
Tier 1: hotels, serviced apartments and high-occupancy online accommodation providers*
Tier 2: motels and motor inns, lodges, pub accommodation, and serviced apartments and high-

Tier 7: other accommodation providers such as backpackers, short stay hostels, bed and breakfasts,
homestays and campgrounds.
* serviced apartments and high-occupancy online accommodation providers that have characteristics similar to
motels (such as parking provided directly outside the apartment, managers accommodation on-site, buildings
are 1 or 2 levels) will be classified as Tier 2 for the purposes of establishing liability for the Accommodation
Provider targeted rate.
Location
The rate will also be differentiated by location as described in the zones below:
Zone A: accommodation providers located in local board areas of Albert-Eden, Devonport-Takapuna,
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, Ōrākei, Waitematā.
Zone B: accommodation providers located in local board areas of Henderson-Massey, Hibiscus and Bays,

City centre targeted rate
Background
The City Centre targeted rate is to help fund the development and revitalisation of the city centre. The rate
applies to business and residential land in the City Centre area.
Activities to be funded
The City Centre redevelopment programme aims to enhance the city centre as a place to work, live, visit and do
business. It achieves this by providing a high-quality urban environment, promoting the competitive advantages
of the city centre as a business location, and promoting the city centre as a place for high-quality education,
research and development. The programme intends to reinforce and promote the city centre as a centre for arts
and culture, with a unique identity as the heart and soul of Auckland. The rate will fund expenditure within the
following activities: Regional planning; Roads and footpaths; Local parks, sports and recreation.
The targeted rate will continue until 2024/2025 to cover capital and operating expenditure generated by the
projects in the City Centre redevelopment programme. From 2016/2017, unspent funds from the targeted rate
have been used to transition the depreciation and consequential operating costs of capital works to the general
rate so that from 2019/2020 these costs will be entirely funded from general rates.
How the rate will be assessed
A differentiated targeted rate will be applied to business and residential land, as defined for rating purposes, in
the city centre. You can view a map of the city centre area at www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/rates or at any
Auckland Council library or service centre.
A rate in the dol ar of $0.00130889 (including GST) of rateable capital value will be applied to urban business
land in 2020/2021. This is estimated to produce around $22.0 million (excluding GST) for 2020/2021.
A fixed rate of $62.40 (including GST) per SUIP (see UAGC section prior for the council's definition of a SUIP)
will be applied to urban residential, urban moderate-occupancy online accommodation provider, and urban
medium-occupancy online accommodation provider land in 2020/2021. This is estimated to produce around
$1.11 million (excluding GST) for 2020/2021.

transport and travel demand management.
Activities to be funded
The Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate (RLBTTR) will be used to help fund the capital and operating
costs of additional transport investment and services.
How the rate will be assessed
The targeted rate will be applied as an amount per SUIP (see UAGC section prior for the council's definition of a
SUIP) on all rateable land in the Rodney Local Board area except land categorised as zero-rated as defined for
rating purposes. The amount of the targeted rate will be $150 (including GST) per SUIP. This is estimated to
produce around $4.4 million (excluding GST) for 2020/2021.
Business Improvement District targeted rates
Background
Business Improvement Districts (BID) are areas within Auckland where local businesses have agreed to work
together, with support from the council, to improve their business environment and attract new businesses and
customers. The funding for these initiatives comes from BID targeted rates, which the businesses within a set
boundary have voted and agreed to pay to fund BID projects and activities.
Activities to be funded
The main objectives of the BID programmes are to enhance the physical environment, promote business
attraction, retention and development, and increase employment and local business investment in BID areas.
The programmes may also involve activities intended to identify and reinforce the unique identity of a place and
to promote that identity as part of its development. The rate will fund expenditure within the following activities:
Local planning and development – locally driven initiatives, Local planning and development – asset based
services.
How the rates will be assessed
The BID targeted rates will be applied to business land, as defined for rating purposes, that is located in defined
areas in commercial centres outlined in the fol owing table. For maps of the areas where the BID rates will
apply, go to www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/rates.
The BID targeted rates will be assessed using a fixed rate and value-based rate on the capital value of the
property. Each BID area may recommend to council that part of its budget be funded from a fixed rate of up to
$575 (including GST) per rating unit. The remaining budget requirement will be funded from a value-based rate
for each area and be applied as a rate in the dollar. There will be different rates for each BID programme.
The table below sets out the budgets and the rates for each BID area that the council will apply in 2020/2021.
This is estimated to produce around $19.1 million (excluding GST) in targeted rates revenue for 2020/2021.

Note to the table: Targeted rate amounts include surpluses and deficits (if any) carried over from 2018/2019 so may differ from grant
amounts.
Business Improvement Districts fixed rate per property and rates in the dollar based
on land value
Rates for Watercare land and defence land will be assessed on land value as required under section 22 of the
Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 and Section 73 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009.
These properties will pay a share of the Business Improvement District value based rates requirement
determined on their share of the BID areas land value rather than a share of the BID areas capital value as
applies for other properties.
