WAIKANAE GARDEN PRECINCT UNDER ATTACK

Jocelyn from Waikanae

You are invited to a public meeting to discuss the threat to the future of the Waikanae Garden Precinct’s character at the Waikanae Bowling Club @ 356 Te Moana Rd on Thursday 10 October @ 5.00pm.

Ngarara Rd residents are alarmed that a 20 dwelling development at 14-16 Ngarara Rd has been approved by the KCDC via an unnotified consent. New rules have abolished the special area designation and will allow multiple homes on tiny sections. We want the previous existing protections reinstated and for the KCDC to publicly notify the residents so that relevant objections in a public arena can be made where necessary.

Help protect the special character of the Waikanae Garden Precinct by showing your support at the public meeting.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
