Stuff reported on Thursday that 75-year-old retired engineer Justin Gregory was facing the loss of his house due to unpaid rates.
His home was one of two advertised as up for sale after Napier City Council gained High Court orders under the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002.
Another homeowner, Sharon McCleary, was also facing the loss of her home.
By mid afternoon, relatives of McCleary and Gregory, had contacted the council.
A council spokeswoman said “we are pleased that family members of both Mr Gregory and Ms McCleary have been in contact with council, and we are hopeful that a good outcome can be reached for everyone involved.”
Just had ever such a nice call from a real kind technician at the Spark Technical Department. I haven't had one of those calls in AGES - only the automated recorded messages warning me about whatever. I'm sorry but he got sick of me after a while and hung up.
Victoria University students’ association (VUWSA) has had their online annual general meeting hacked, with an unknown intruder sharing “racist, homophobic, and graphic content”.

It is the leading cause of death, and although survival rates have improved with better treatment options, many people miss out on rehabilitation.
Often those diagnosed are not aware of resources available to manage pain and improve their overall quality of life. Kiely Pepper was seeing the Petone physiotherapist after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
She had chemotherapy-induced pain and weakness in her hands and feet, pins and needles and reduced joint awareness, and crippling fatigue. For five years Kiely participated in regular rehabilitation, and two years ago, Kiely and her friends competed in a water sports event, and the same year her dragon boating team, Can Survive, finished second in Florence.
The following year, Kiely took part in wheelchair basketball and indoor rowing at the Invictus Games in Australia, even fitting in a chat with Prince Harry between cycling events.
This week, September 7 -13, is Cancer Rehabilitation Awareness Week, where people are encouraged to spread the word about the resources available to help recovery.

There were once 75 wardens in the city but now there are only two, with enforcements coming from Porirua and Hutt Valley when needed. Since their inception in 1860, Maori Wardens hold special legal powers, working alongside police, to help reduce harm.
This year marks the 160th anniversary of Māori Wardens, which its district commander, Gabriel Tupou, calls “a unique branch of Maori self-autonomy”. Wellington area liaison officer Suzanne Tamaki said the organisation now has a permanent office space in the central city, with the help of Wellington City Council, and is looking to increase patrols and recruit volunteers.
Helping to reestablish Māori Wardens' presence in the central city is one of a range of methods WCC are employing to reduce alcohol harm. An additional $80,000 in funding was also granted last week for Take 10, a volunteer group operating in the bar district, providing an array of services for people, including a time-out zone and phone charging.

"Savage is, in its best moments, a stunning achievement. And it is never less than heartfelt and engaging. Very recommended."
Directed by Sam Kelly, it takes a look at the life of gang leader Moses. Set in Wellington in the 1980s, Kelly suggests that we can trace the emergence of gangs in New Zealand to institutions like the Epuni Boys Home in Lower Hutt, where physical and sexual abuse was rife.
Tuckett was particularly impressed by the way Savage gets "behind the masks of gang life and talked to the lost boys and mutilated men" in gangs throughout New Zealand.
One of the highlights was the performance of James Matamua, who was discovered in a Upper Hutt boxing gym.
The movie will inevitably raises questions about attitudes to gangs and whether politicians should take a tougher approach. Tell us what you think?

A move to free up more land for new builds is likely to see fewer driveways and garages in modern housing, in a move some say could have New Zealand looking like Coronation Street.
Councils across the country must scrap planning rules that require car parks to be put down near new housing or business developments, under newly released housing guidelines.
The change comes as the Government looks to encourage development, in part by freeing up land held up by car parks, under its new National Policy Statement for urban development.
Property developer Phil Robinson said scrapping car park rules was a “big change”, but he was unsure if it was a “big win”.
What do you think of having more new builds in your area with fewer driveways and garages?
