When I heard there would be changes to the consent rules around building sleep outs, I was excited. I've always wanted a tea house in my back yard... a garden room where I can do a bit of potting, maybe read a book, or just cool off in the shade.

Turns out it's not quite as simple as a trip to the hardware store to burn a hole in your credit card. If you're thinking of putting something up on your property, check in here first:

Meet Parminder Singh (Punjabi) who shares his journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi:
“Studying in the Pōkaitahi Reo programme has allowed me to develop a totally beautiful and unique relationship with Māori communities. The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”
Share in Parminder’s experience and enquire now for 2020. These programmes are tuition fee free!
Just 30 minutes from Nelson, you'll find this unique hotel - the brainchild of passionate and super-friendly locals Judy and Steve Richards. Would you stay?

It's a cross between a fighter jet and torpedo - that looks like a shark - and this Queenstown ride has been discounted to encourage more Kiwis to travel.

Over the next 12 months we are developing Placemaking Plans for Hikurangi and Tikipunga.
Placemaking Plans are collaborative plans put together by Council alongside the community, mana whenua and key stakeholders to build a future vision for how a location will change and develop over the next 20-30 years.
Plans for Hikurangi and Tikipunga will be the first to be developed and plans for other areas will follow.
The first step is to carry out a survey to better understand these areas and what matters most to the people in these communities.
The survey isn’t just limited to people who live in Hikurangi or Tikipunga - we also want to hear from people who regularly visit these areas to work, shop, visit friends and whanau or use the parks, sportsgrounds and other facilities in these areas.
Begin the Placemaking Survey
The survey is open until July 8 2020 and can be completed in about 5 minutes.
Does the Parua Bay, Whangarei Heads need a WDC Ratepayers funded Community Lead Transfer Station? Its been over 12 months since the Parua Bay Transfer Station closed and the Community were given extra rubbish collection runs. This provides that this community does need one.

Its been over 12 months since the Parua Bay Transfer Station closed and the Community were given extra rubbish collection runs. This provides that this community does need one.
Melissa's dream goal & mission is to deliver community benefits and work towards zero waste to landfill.
So why doesnt Melissa buy some land and build her business to get Parua Bay Resident to pay to get rid of their waste why does WDC have to support this? The location is not suitable.
Melissa's guiding principles with a handful of paid self elected maori representatives are to follow principles proposed to guide their business paid by ratepayers:
1. To work with local hapu/iwi and embrace principles of kaitiakitanga and sustainability.
(Ngati Tu and surrounding landowners oppose this location).
2. Address all legislative requirements.
(Why don't need a transfer station next to waterways?)
WHY is a RATEPAYER starting a business using WDC Funding and continued Funding Revenue from WDC and also leasing WDC Land which is a site of significance for the Ngati Tu people (other Hapu Trusts and individuals support it with a MOU)?
Proposed Resource Consent Application before the Whangarei District Council Applicant: Whangarei Heads Community Resource Recovery Charitable Trust
Location: 35 Pataua South Road, Whangarei
Reference: LU2000054
The reporting officers David Badham & Kaylee Kolkman
Consultant Planner, RMA Consents on the above resource consent application to establish a resource recovery centre on the subject site. DAvid & Kaylee, the Parks Department and the Whangarei District Council Development Engineer have now assessed the application and advise that in order for the Council to better understand the nature of the proposal, the effects the proposal will have on the environment or the ways in which any adverse effects may be mitigated, further information is requested.
Melissa Arseneault, 35 Pataua South Road, Parua Bay, Whangarei, mobile: 021 550 249 and email: grassroots63@outlook.com made a resource consent application in May 2020.
Whangarei Heads Community Resource Recovery Charitable Trust (WHCRRCT) was given $20,000 from WDC for a feasibility study.
With the closure of the Parua Bay Transfer Station, (April 2019) the setting up of Whangarei’s first Community-led and operated Resource Recovery Centre (CRRC) is well timed to deliver a new approach to waste minimisation with a focus on zero waste to landfill.
