Your voice matters this April
We love where we live and we want to make it even better. So, this month we’re asking for your feedback on our:
• 2021-2031 Long Term Plan
• Regional Pest Management Plan
• Waikato Regional Coastal Plan.
At their heart, these plans are about making our rohe even better for the generations here now, and those to come.
These plans cover some big issues – issues that really matter. We know not every proposal will affect you or be of interest, but we believe there will be something that matters to you. Take a look and give your feedback by 30 April.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
