please have your say and make submissions - closing 20 Sept 22

Byron from Naenae

How do you feel about 3-4 stories popping up next door? perhaps 14-20 addresses where there were only 1 or two? how do you feel about NOT being able to appeal to the environment court for what developers do? 6-8 stories in the cbd may be good - but where else are they allowing?
all this intensification comes at cost/risk to the environment - hard ground everywhere blocks natural water drainage to ground and then adds to what goes where ..slips much lately??
get in have your say - agreed some relaxing right near the CBD and certain shopping precincts - but most of the valley is being opened up for development if this gets approved by this council - head to :-

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
