Be prepared for this weekend! 💪

Cyclone Vaianu is expected to move southwards across the North Island on Sunday, 12 April.

Heavy Rain Watch
Area: Auckland and Great Barrier Island
Period: 12hrs from 2:00am Sun to 2:00pm Sun

Strong Wind Watch
Area: Northland, Auckland and Great Barrier Island
Period: 21hrs from 9:00pm Sat to 6:00pm Sun

How you can prepare now:

•Keep up-to-date with the weather by downloading the MetService app from the App Store or Google Play, or visit www.metservice.com

•Start preparing your property – check your drains and gutters to ensure they aren’t blocked and clear tree branches, leaves and debris. These can cause flooding issues during heavy rain. Put away or tie down any loose outdoor furniture and trampolines in case of high winds.

•Get ready in case of power outages. Check you’ve got a torch and batteries, keep your phone and power banks charged, and have a battery-operated radio (or your car radio as an alternative).

•Plan travel accordingly. Make sure you drive to the conditions and never drive through floodwaters or over slips.

•The forecast is for predicting large swells and high energy waves. The conditions are not looking ideal for boating or shore fishing.

Feel free to share this message with whānau and friends to help them get prepared too – we’ve got this Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland!

📬 New Property Rating Valuations Are Here! 🏡

This week, Aucklanders will receive updated property rating valuations to help fairly share rates across the region’s 630,000 properties 💰

🗓️ These valuations reflect the market as of 1 May 2024 – not today’s value – and they help set your rates from 1 July 2025.

📉 Most residential properties are down around 9% since 2021, which means your rates change may be more or less than the average 5.8% increase, depending on how your value compares to others in your area.

🛠️ Prepared by independent valuers QV and Opteon, these valuations are a key part of keeping things fair for all ratepayers.

🖥️ Check your new CV online from 10 June at aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
📮 Official notices will arrive from 13 June by post or email.

📌 Remember: CVs are not for mortgage or insurance – they’re used only for setting rates.

Need help or want to know more? Visit the Auckland Council website for FAQs, videos, and support options 🙌
