New Zealand is one of the happiest countries in the world, but how do you even define happiness?
There's a growing body of research on happiness showing the things that make us happier, and things that detract from our happiness. Read more from our "Good Life Guide" here.

These remits usually get workshopped by all councillors and voted on so that delegates know what the councillors majority vote is and vote accordingly. This year we were given the remits by email two days before the conference and had no time to consider these and discuss them or seek further information. Not a big deal it seems well read the remits which are as follows.....
1 Climate change – local government representation
2 Ban on the sale of fireworks to the general public
3 Traffic offences – red light running
4 Prohibit parking on grass berms
5 Short-term guest accommodation (air bnb bnbs)
6 Nitrate in drinking water7
Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (1987)
8 Weed control
9 Building defects claims
10 Social housing
11 Procurement
12 Single use polystyrene
13 Local Government Act 2002
14 Campground regulations
15 Living wage
16 Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act
17 Greenhouse gases
18 Climate change – policy framework
19 Road safety
20 Mobility scooter safety
21 Museums and galleries
22 Resource Management Act
23 Mayor decision to appoint Deputy Mayor
24 Beauty industry

As you can see there were a large number of remits and to expect Councillors to investigate and consult in 48 hours is unacceptable. The reason for the late notification was given as a communication breakdown by staff. Whilst I have no reason to doubt this the Mayor attends this conference every year and is a member of the National Executive, one would think that it would have been obvious to have seen ths was not on the workshop or agendas for meetings in time. These decisions do not bind our council however they bind our National Body to achieve the remits that were passed. Another lack of transparency where councillors have been kept in the dark. Time for a change is obvious.
As I have at the top of the page this is my opinion and does not reflect any official position of Council,
