Porirua ratepayers forked out more than $56,000 for concept drawings described as a "desktop exercise".

Reporter Kapi-Mana News

Waterfront apartment development concept drawings for a ''desktop exercise'' have cost Porirua ratepayers more than $56,000.

Porirua City Council general manager Steve Perdia said the council considered it an "appropriate spend to look into options for a vital piece of council-owned property and to understand costs under various scenarios".

But the drawings were nowhere to be seen during a "tell us what you think" public consultation.

What are your thoughts? Do you feel misled by Porirua City Council?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
