TAURANGA RESIDENTS AND RATEPAYERS GROUP...COME JOIN US
This page is NO WAY CONNECTED TO THE ONE RUN BY MURRAY GUY
It is a page were Rate Payers and Residents can have their say. Your opinion is valid and everyone else thinks theirs is too.
I started this page because I was tired of some of our Councillors claiming FREE SPEECH, and DEMOCRACY, but I know of three Groups that are administered by Current City Councillors. Papamoa Link has Steve Morris as an Admin. Mount Ratepayers site has Dawn Kiddie and Andrew Hollis and the other Tauranga Ratepayers site has ex Councillor Murray Guy. I believe that these people have a conflict of Interest in being admin of these sites, because if you disagree with them, you are blocked. You will not be blocked from this site, unless you personally abuse other contributors. We do not have agree on everything, but we too have the right to free speech.
It is my fervent wish that Tauranga can go forward, without all the infighting within Council.
Later on we may form a group, if you wish to meet face to face. Let's see how it runs

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Should You Stay Home During Open Homes or Private Viewings? 🏡🤔
Should You Stay Home During Open Homes or Private Viewings? 🏡🤔
When you list your home for sale, you might wonder: should you be there during inspections? While it’s your home, many agents suggest stepping out during these moments.
Here’s why:
1️⃣ Protecting Your Peace 🛡️
Selling a home is an emotional journey, and potential buyers often share candid opinions about your home. While their feedback can be valuable, it might feel personal when you’re nearby. Stepping out helps you avoid any unintended stress or discomfort.
2️⃣ Creating a Comfortable Atmosphere 🌟
Buyers want to imagine themselves living in your home, and that’s easier to do when they feel at ease. Your presence, even with the best intentions, might make them feel like guests rather than potential owners.
💡 Pro Tip: Take a break—go for coffee ☕ or enjoy a walk in the park 🌳 during inspections. It can make a big difference for everyone involved.
Have questions about selling your home or real estate in general?
Let’s connect—I’d love to help! 😊
