BOP Regional Council Proposed Long Term Plan 2024-2034
Kia ora Koutou, Katoa, Hi Everyone,
'Heads Up'
I attended an information meeting last week.
This proposed Long Term Plan is currently open for submissions until 4pm on Tuesday 9 April 2024.
Cr Kevin Winters was very informative and the discussion held covered all aspects presented in the Consultation Document.
There are three main Consultation Topics;
1. How should we fund public transport in urban centres across the region?
2. Do you agree with our proposal to enable a managed sell down or our Port of Tauranga Limited shareholding to no less than 28% ?
3. Should Regional Council investigate new opportunities for regional parks?
Cr Kevin Winters gave us a 'user friendly' information sheet regarding Proposal 2 regarding the Port of Tauranga. See attached.
There is still time to complete a submission if you wish.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.7% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.1% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.2% Against. I want to deal with people.
