ECAN - Deadline 31st October consent for low emission woodburners

Emma from Opawa - Saint Martins

Am I the last to know? Anyway FYI if you didn't either!!
If you are having to replace your woodburner eg its over 15 years.. you still need consent.
"...If you get your building consent lodged before 31 October 2017, you will be able to choose between a low emission wood burner and an ultra-low emission wood burner. ..."
"..... If you miss this deadline you can only install an ultra-low emission wood burner". *The ultra low are more expensive. And you have the consent fee.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
