Large scale development on Long Bay Drive
Hello
Here in Torbay on Long Bay Drive we value our peaceful setting amongst native trees and houses that blend well with its surroundings but as developers recently bought a section opposite of us this is going to change.
Without any consultation of any of the neighbouring property owners the new owner of this section (merely 1000m2) plans to build 8 townhouses with no more space for green area!!
They already chopped down a 50 year old Pohutukawa tree and several Nikau palm trees.
The whole neighbourhood is concerned that this development will change the look of this area in the future and that even more native trees will be lost because of greed.
This development, as so many others, will not save the housing shortage, in Auckland as they will sell well over the 1million dollar mark and only a view people will be able to afford this, for sure no first home buyers.
Only to the gain of greedy property developers.
If you are concerned too or want to help please call the council hotline under 3010101 extension 1. it might take a while until someone picks up the phone but it's worth the wait.
Thanks
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
