Your unruly property in central Christchurch could be about to be slapped with a huge new rates bill. After a number of complaints about unsightly or overgrown sections, the council is proposing to charge landowners four times their regular rates if land is not being used or developed. However, it would also work the other way - rewarding those who kept their section tidy with a rates reduction. Christchurch Central Ward councillor Jake McLellan joined Mike Hosking.
