Meeting tonight about Significant Natural Areas, is your property affected?
I think neighbours will be interested in this post I found on the Ngaio, Crofton Downs, Khandallah, Broadmeadows Community Group in Facebook:
IS YOUR GARDEN NOW "BACKYARD TAONGA"?
Public Meeting to discuss the Council's Significant Natural Areas (SNA) policy.
Khandallah Town Hall, 11 Ganges Road, 7.30pm Tuesday 20 July
"Significant Natural Areas", or Backyard Taonga, is a Wellington City Council initiative to designate areas of significant biodiversity on public and private land as protected. This will have implications for property rights and values. So far 1693 private Wellington properties are affected, and about 18% of the city's total land area
Mayor Andy Foster and council officers will be present to explain the policy and answer questions.
Organised by the Wellington SNA Committee (WSNAC)

Seeking Summer Pocket Money
Are you planning to go away over the holidays?
After doing really well for the last couple of summers and absolutely loving it, our enthusiastic 13-year-old is once again offering her services for pet and plant care over the coming summer.
Over the last few summers, she has managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, an assortment of fun items, endless packets of Mentos, and even funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over to last her through the year. 😊 While she isn't sure what next year will bring, she is eager to save up a few dollars to make the most of whatever opportunities come her way.
She's keen to take care of small pets and birds, water pot plants and gardens, walk friendly dogs, and more. She is available immediately and throughout the summer until the end of January. Please consider her if you're planning to be away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates are negotiable, and references are available from happy customers, several of whom have kept her on for weekend work throughout the year.
As always, she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me at 0226206258 to arrange an introductory visit. 😊
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)
.
