New Park
Tauranga Council is putting a park in opposite the existing Te Ngaio Rd Park. There will be a road separating the two sides. They did ask for submissions a year ago, but as a local living in the area I missed ALL notices as they were in places not frequently visited, and missed being able to submit. Obviously I feel passionate about this as we are frequent visitors of the park with my grandchild, and am upset at the multiple road crossings in the near future. They hope to have Marine Parade a 30km zone to make it safer ( pretty much already this as the traffic is so bad anyway). And it is already a hazard to cross on the best of summer days!!! I cannot think of any children’s parks that have high usage that are separated by a busy road anywhere in the world. This is our rate payer money paying for this work which will be starting on Tuesday. If a child is hit on the road crossing when running from one activity to another will the council take responsibility or is it the parents fault for not adequate supervision??? Open for comments- but even better if you let the council know your thoughts.
They are planning BBQ and seating to go with the walkway which I think is a great idea…but a split park.??? I am no planning genius but have intelligent questions been asked? How many people within a 1000m radius submitted? If the numbers were low - why were they low???
They are also planning on putting in more fencing to protect the fragile dunes. Again rate payer funded. Best use of our rates in the current times???
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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 know what a Conditional Agreement means?
Do you know what a Conditional Agreement means?
A conditional agreement is an agreement for the Sale & Purchase of real estate and is a legally binding agreement, but it is subject to certain conditions being satisfied.
These might relate to:
1️⃣ the purchaser arranging suitable finance to complete the purchase,
2️⃣ receipt of a satisfactory builder’s report and/or valuer’s report;
3️⃣ receipt of a satisfactory Land Information Memorandum (LIM);
4️⃣ or the purchaser’s solicitor approving the title to the property.
The Sale & Purchase agreement may also have conditions that require the seller to do something by a certain date.
Once all the conditions are satisfied the agreement becomes unconditional.
Whether you're the savvy buyer or the strategic seller, remember the golden rule: legal advice is your guiding light. 🌟 Legal advice ensures the conditions are crystal clear, paving the way for your seamless real estate journey!
