Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger and city councillor Sam MacDonald will host a public meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss the council’s latest annual plan, property valuations, Three Waters and housing intensification.

“Part of rebuilding trust and confidence in council is being out in the community, answering questions and understanding people’s concerns,” Mauger said.

MacDonald said the latest annual plan had been “particularly challenging”, with interest rates, inflation and insurance adding significant pressure to the council budget.

“We have worked hard to minimise the impact to below inflation,” he said.

”We are hopeful we will get a lot of people along, the issues being discussed impact everybody.”

The meeting will be held at 7pm on Tuesday at St Christopher’s Church, Avonhead Rd.

Jaleel found purpose in life through the Graeme Dingle Foundation's programmes.

Losing two special people as a teenager left her lost and scraping by daily. But with the Foundation’s programmes; Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K, she found mentors who believed in her and taught her life skills, self-belief and the importance of asking for help.

Winning the Project K Excellence Award inspired her to work with the Foundation, which led to her becoming a Kiwi Can Leader. Jaleel hopes to continue working with the Foundation.

This is what is permissible around my house HRZ (Mustard colour)
1. On the North 3m up from boundary and angle of 50degrees with 12m height limit.
1.5m set back
If 14 m has to be set back 6m
Up to 50% site coverage.
2. East and West 1m from boundary.
Recession plane 60 degrees taken from 3 m. Maximum 12 m high
50% coverage.
Separate buildings have to be 10m apart
I estimate that the angle from the bottom of the French doors to the top of the neighbouring building would be 29 degrees
The East side would get zero sun
The West side would get sun above 76 degrees (I think)
I removed the original picture as building on east side was incorrect.
Note the sun chart. Anything below 30 degrees gets no sun. So in 3 weeks the sun retreats from the dining room floor.

Confirmation of the reason for water charge

Gordon from Halswell

This is the section from the draft plan 23/24 and states
"A change to our Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate
The main reason we've introduced the Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate(external link) to help reduce the extreme demand on our water supply network at certain times, particularly over summer. If we can do this, it means we won't have to spend as much money upgrading and building new infrastructure to cope with the extreme demand".
It is not to save the overall usage of water for the rest of the year.
This is not to recoup the extra costs as the system can not pump more than 100%. The water pressure would drop and need restrictions that would apply to everyone, even without meters. Totally fair and very few costs involved, eg meter readings, sending out accounts, receiving payments, disputes over charges anon.
what was wrong with the old system and why was this raised at all?
The way I see it, they have just created a whole costly system to be paid for by the money they are collecting for the scheme. IMO

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?
