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?
“So I would say it’s possible I might have the most plants per square metre,” she quips.
Hi neighbours,

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.
The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.
The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.
We want to hear your thoughts about Matariki becoming a public holiday. Do you support the idea, or are you against it? Perhaps you have a counter proposal.
Share your thoughts here.

Thames Museum would like to thank everyone who bought tickets to our winter fundraising event A NIGHT AT THAMES MUSEUM, planned for 15th August. We are unable to hold this event just now, during Covid-19 containment Level 2, as the museum cannot guarantee adequate social distancing during a group event.
We would like to thank everyone for their patience: it is our intention to host this exciting event as soon as our area returns to Level 1, so watch this space…
If you feel you may not be able to attend and would like a refund, please contact Robyn on 021 182 6572. Refunds will be given in exchange for your ticket.
As announced on Friday, 4/9/20 Thames like most of the country will stay under Alert Level 2 until at least Wednesday, 16th September midnight. So sorry, no market on the 5th and the 12th of September.

A little explanation why we can’t have a market under Level 2:
> Limit of 100 people at outdoor events: a busy market easily reaches 300 people present at peak times.
> Social distancing: 2m distance or even 1m distance between visitors to the market is not practical on the narrow footpaths our stalls are located on.
> Traceability: although we have 6 Tracer QRs displayed, we can’t guarantee that people see them or use them. There are too many access points to the market, actually every car park is an access point.
> Other considerations: residents of Aucklander can freely travel to our market; many of our stallholders and visitors are in the high risk groups - we just don’t want to put what has been achieved in Aotearoa/New Zealand in jeopardy.
So we hope we can reopen Thames Market when we are down to Level 1 again.
25 Years of Thames Market
Many will know that we had planned to celebrate 25 years of Thames Market on September, 5th. As this can’t happen we will have those celebrations on Labour Weekend instead. Thames Market’s 25th anniversary will be celebrated on October, 24th from 8 am to 1 pm. Watch this space.
