Driveways driven away by new rule

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 โ€œbig changeโ€, but he was unsure if it was a โ€œbig winโ€.

What do you think of having more new builds in your area with fewer driveways and garages?

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.

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 Mฤori 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.

A saucy rebrand brings te reo Mฤori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Mฤori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for โ€œbastardisingโ€ the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kฤซnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Mฤori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the countryโ€™s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Mฤori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

โ€œIโ€™m really stoked that theyโ€™ve taken a chance on us.โ€
