Northland Development Corporation, a group formed by local business people two years ago, hopes to get the project started before the end of the year and be ready for business when the Hundertwasser Art Centre opens before the end of 2020.

The hotel, entertainment centre, and apartments will be built on 12,460sqm of waterfront land along Riverside Drive, where boatsheds and light industry are currently located.

The four-star complex is expected to provide more than 200 jobs during the construction phase and around 140-160 once it is opened. The 130-room hotel could host up to 1000 people.

There are also plans to ferry tourists from cruise ships that will berth at Northport from early 2021 to the new hotel precincts and other places frequented by visitors, such as the Hundertwasser Art Centre and Hihiaua peninsula.

Danish made leather jacket, suede on the outside, wool inside. My wife says it's size 10-12. Used to be my late mother's. It is *very* warm.

Very good condition, it's probably only been worn on a handful of occasions.

Since she kept it in a wardrobe together with bars of soap, it's got a perfumed smell to it.


Thinking $50. (tried the 'show the price' option, but it will only display "negotiable" ...)

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.

So what do you think of the new rules? Are you for or against them?
