Council consented, architecturally designed house plans
I have fully drawn up and consented house plans, but have decided not to proceed with the build. It would be a shame for this to go to waste and so I was wondering if there would be anyone out there interested in them? This is for a 3 bed, 2.5 bathroom home with pavilion style living area, logia, separate master and guest wings, 3 garages and work shop. Would suit flat to slightly sloping land. The architects are willing to make modifications to the plans if required. 3-D modelling photos of the house attached. It took 13 months to have all this drawn up at some expense. Could save someone a lot of time and money. Contact Neville 0272088912
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)
