Poll: If you knew a newly built home you were looking at buying came with long term targeted rates, would you find it less appealing to buy?

Jay Boreham Reporter from Rodney Times

In plans to speed up infrastructure needed to build large developments The Government has set up Crown Infrastructure Partners,.

The company will set up special purpose companies to build and own new trunk infrastructure for housing developments in return for dedicated long term revenue streams from councils through targeted rates and volumetric charging for use of the infrastructure by new residents.

Would these extra long term fees put you off buying in places like Wainui?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
