The design includes one four-level apartment building and one with five levels,with the rest one to three levels, which will house about 300 residents.
The development has proved controversial. The council initially encouraged Summerset to come to Lower Hutt but later was less enthusiastic as teh scale of the development became clear.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
