Submissions on the Housing Intensification Legislation.
If you are a home owner or wish to become one or you rent a home you will have opinions on what you would like your surrounding environment to be like. If you wish to purchase you will want to know what could be built next door. If you own a home you would have chosen where to purchase based upon the zoning rules and would never have envisaged that zone to change. It is proposed that this is going to happen. To make a submission, and you should, go to ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay . There is apparently information at the libraries as well. Nb, this intensification legislation is being forced upon all tier one cities in NZ by the Government and if adopted will result in far more losers than winners. One of the reasons for the legislation is to make housing more affordable, it won't, affordability is market driven. More buyers, price increases and prices decrease with less buyers as per the apartment market at present. In making a submission maybe talk to your neighbours or friends. If you wish to know what new zone you will be in there is an interactive map, most of suburban Chch is in the new zone ie Medium Density Zone. 11 meters high one meter off your Northern boundary !! Not flash is it!
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

MISSING CAT
Hey neighbours,
Koco my black cat is missing, from Ilam Road. It's been 11 days now, since 12/11/24. She's definitely not under the house or hiding anywhere and we've done everything we can to bring her home at this stage, but will always appreciate advice or other ideas. Before she went missing she was coming home and eating and cuddling etc every day, morning, night, and throughout. If anyone sees her anywhere we'd really appreciate a message :) Thank you so much!
-She's microchipped, three years old, wearing (could have lost) a red studded collar with my number and her name attached to a red heart name tag.
We really miss her 😢💔
