There's growing calls for the Government to pay rates on Crown land.
Wellington mayor Andrew Little has announced he'll lobby for changes to the Local Government Act to repeal the measure as part of his council’s triennium plan.
Currently, most property owned by central Government, such as schools and hospitals, is exempt from paying rates.
Little says local councils provide a lot of infrastructure to Crown-owned buildings - and more revenue is needed.
