Driveways driven away by new rule

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

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?

Hello! I have sold my house with a very short settlement date and I have to be out by Thursday 27 August. As I haven't found another home yet I am moving into accommodation that does not allow cats.

I have sold my house with a very short settlement date and I have to be out by Thursday 27 August. As I haven't found another home yet I am moving into accommodation that does not allow cats. My cat Stellar is around 6 years old and I need to find temporary care for her until I purchase another home. Can anyone help look after her in the interim? I will pay for her food and care costs. I would prefer a home for her rather than a cattery situation. The Cats Protection League and the RSPCA are unable to help. Her vaccinations are up to date. Please ring me on 021 160 1161 if you can help. Thanks! :)

Your thoughts on making Matariki a public holiday

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.
