BOP Regional Council Proposed Long Term Plan 2024-2034

Lynn Neighbourly Lead from Ngongotaha

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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
