Skoota still isn't HOME
His owner's heart is breaking -
I miss you "Monkey". Your Mum misses you.
And your Trout misses you.
Every morning for the last 78 days the three of us have had to put the mask on.
The mask of a happy face, with a big smile on it, just to pretend all is normal and nothing has changed.
But let me tell you one thing Skoota, there is so much sadness that like tonight it is even hard to start writing something.
Tonight "Monkey" I am your dad, she is you mum, he is your brother. Tonight we are scared.
Tonight we are still looking for answers and we don't get them.
Tonight again we hope for a miracle, a sign, a voice with a real answer.
We are scared for you. For us three it is easier as we stick together, hug together and cry together.
We are scared as you are probably on your own.
Tonight we don't understand and you probably don't understand.
But we are still here for you, the door remains open as closing it would be starting to give up on you. We will not.
Skoota tonight we are scared for you.

A new Stormwater targeted rate
To meet the challenges of stormwater management and the level of service expected by the community, we are going to need to invest more in infrastructure.
💧 www.wdc.govt.nz...
Over 2024-25, we funded stormwater costs through debt. This gave us time to wait for clarity from the Government about their plans for Local Water Done Well, and work out the fairest way to fund our stormwater management.
We are now asking you for your feedback on 2 proposed options for how to fund stormwater management.
The proposed stormwater targeted rate will help ensure that we have a dedicated and sustainable funding source to cover the costs of maintaining and upgrading our stormwater infrastructure.
The stormwater rate will fund the maintenance and improvement of stormwater systems, including important work like renewing and maintaining stormwater pipes and retention basins. It will also support work aimed at reducing flood risks and improving water quality in our rivers and streams.
The proposed universal rate would result in an average annual charge of $180 per household. This charge is designed to be fair and equitable, ensuring that all residents contribute to the essential services that benefit the entire community. There are two ways we can calculate this rate, and we are asking you which you would prefer.
1️⃣ Option 1 (preferred): Introduce a District-wide universal rate of $0.0003696 per dollar of land value. This would work out to be an average annual cost of $180 per household.
2️⃣ Option 2: Introduce a District-wide universal rate of $172 per separately used or inhabited parts (SUIP) of a rating unit. A SUIP refers to any part of a property that is used for a different purpose or inhabited by someone (i.e. if you had two homes on one property, you would be charged twice).
