Plan Change 12
The meeting was held on 17th July '24 to update on PC12 Enabling Housing. A number of groups attended and noted that they were struggling to understand the range of new changes , different to what the community was told about in 2022. It seems the new option may be better for general residential but makes it harder for medium and high density communities. In high density it will be very difficult to add onto your home or add one storey units , and the height goes up from 21 metres to 26 metres permitted.
Frankton East Resident Group 9 ( FERG ) would appreciate it if there are any planners or lawyers that could help the community group. But the time is short.
Please ask the council what the new changes may mean to your home by going online to PC12 and putting in your address or ask at HCC.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
