Annual Plan Consultation begins today

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Our Annual Plan 2020-21 Consultation is about the changes we have made to Year 3 of our Long Term Plan 2018-28 in response to COVID-19. This includes a proposal to reduce the overall General Rate rise to 2.2% (inflation), and provide $3m in targeted relief. We are also seeking extra funding from central government.

The aim of these measures is to soften the economic blow delivered by COVID-19, and provide extra support to the District as it works to recover.

You can send us your feedback until June 4 at the link below.

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)
.
