Margaret Atwood

2017 edition. 324 pages, excellent condition.

The bestselling dystopian classic that became a cultural phenomenon and inspired an award-winning TV series

The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.

HCC Land Grab

Am I the only one bothered by Hamilton City Council’s land grab? Yes emotive talk but that’s the way I feel about the Significant Natural Area (SNA) designation that has been placed over part of our property. If you have trees and a gully aspect it’s likely you’ve copped it too.

Check out the SNA provisions of Council’s District Plan Change #9.

The Council proposes that I can no longer manage my trees as I see fit despite having done so for close to 30 years. My trees, I sourced them, I planted them, and my time in caring for them since. Now the council has wrapped them in red tape and I can’t do anything, or practically so, without first having a resource consent from Hamilton City Council.

A stated purpose of the District Plan’s SNA provisions:

“The Act identifies the protection of areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna as a matter of national importance. This chapter of the District Plan identifies areas of significant indigenous vegetation, biodiversity and habitats of indigenous fauna which qualify as Significant Natural Areas – these areas can be held in public and private ownership or ownership may be split.”

Which is all very well but over the 2 to 3 decades of living in Hamilton all I’ve seen is enhancement of gully vegetation, so why do we do we now need red tape to achieve what’s been happening anyway?

Another statement in the “Purpose” rubs salt into the wound.

“The costs of protecting areas and habitats are local and often specific to an individual, yet the benefits may be local, regional and national.”

So all this cost of getting consultants to survey for bat habitat and prepare resource consent applications and planting plans and management plans should be borne by the community as a whole. But no, the boffins involved side step the reality of the cost imposed by this red tape.

Like many things that are young, little plants are easy to adore and give you a warm sense of having done well by the environment. But they grow up shutting out the sun and block roof gutters with leaf litter. You now need an expensive planning consent before solving such problems.

It’s all just more cost and bureaucracy to contend with.
