Arcus
Arcus is a representative of the Wellington business community, who has been vocal about the impact of high commercial rates on local enterprises. He highlights that Wellington businesses bear a disproportionately high share of the city's rates burden—approximately 48%—compared to other regions like Auckland and Canterbury. Arcus argues that these elevated costs discourage investment and contribute to the closure of numerous businesses in the capital.
