A growing Central Otago town may be denied a 500 section development, after Waka Kotahi cited concerns over climate change and the lack of public transport.

But that position has angered outspoken Otago Regional Council councillor, Michael Laws, who lives in Cromwell.
‘’Waka Kotahi are sabotaging growth in Central Otago and the likes,’’ he said on Thursday, the same day as submissions to the Central Otago District Council closed.
‘’This is something that will benefit our entire region.’’
About 10km west of Cromwell, company Fulton Hogan plans to rezone about 118ha of a former quarry into a 90ha residential area, including a 5ha business park and 22ha industrial area.
But a major road block for that development is the position taken by Waka Kotahi, which partly funds public transport in Queenstown and Dunedin – but not in Central Otago – one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.

Hi there,

We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?
Feel free to comment below, send me a message or email me at lorna.thornber@stuff.co.nz. Please include 'NFP' in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in an article. Thanks in advance for taking the time to share.
With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?
We have lots of vintage toys, winter warmies and around 100 clothing items on our $1 rack. It’s choc-a-block. Also bring your standard sized supermarket bag to fill a bag of $1 kids clothing for $4.
Heart attack is a leading cause of death in New Zealand.

An update,
Thanks for all the love and support. Olivia will be heading to Germany for tests/treatment at the end of September.
She was interviewed by the odt who ran her story yesterday, see link

We would love to see change so that others can access the care and treatment they need.
Thanks again💕
Hi, My family of 4 (husband, 2 teenage girls and myself) have lived in Abbotsford for 20 years. Our eldest daughter, Olivia (16yrs) has had a 7 year battle with multiple chronic illnesses that have compounded and deteriorated to the point that she is now no longer able to eat or drink without extreme pain and vomiting. She is now reliant on a nasal tube for nutrition and hydration.
After 7 years of numerous tests, she finally has a diagnosis which is amazing! She has been diagnosed with at least 4 Abdominal Vascular Compression Syndromes (AVCS) that are most likely caused by a connective tissue disorder. She is hyper mobile and is awaiting a Hyper Mobile Elhers Danlos diagnosis.
The good news is that treatment for multiple AVCS is available but NOT in NZ as we do not have a surgeon with sufficient experience, as the condition is rare, especially combined with potential hyper mobility which makes surgery more complex. Olivia's doctor has referred her to the world leading surgeon in Germany for this life saving surgery.
At this stage we have been unable to get financial assistance from Te Whatu Ora, so we are faced with the mammoth task of raising $140,000 to cover the cost of surgery, travel, accommodation and associated costs. We ask that if you are able to, please consider donating to Olivia's give-a-little page (see link) or to share this post and link to the page with as many people as possible. All donations will be gratefully received, no donations are too small.
Without the surgery Olivia's quality of life will continue to deteriorate and she will eventually die.
Thank you so much for your support.
