What do you think about this Porirua Adventure Park?
Detailed plans for a proposed $32 million adventure park in the hills west of Porirua are being put to the public as the company seeks permission to start building. The year-long construction on the park is aimed to start early next year so opening day could potentially be in early-2020.
Public submissions to Porirua City Council are open till October 31, and submissions to the Department of Conservation till October 19. The proposed Porirua Adventure Park will add to the number of existing mountain bike trails and feature a $12 million gondola, zip line, hiking trails, a surf pool, and a cafe at each of the base and top gondola stations. It is estimated to boost Porirua's GDP by $9.6m a year and create about 171 jobs in the Wellington area.

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?

59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
