Poll: Do you think this is a good idea?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The city council’s keen to get a slice of big landowners’ capital gain from rezoned but unbuilt areas as it prepares for a potentially costly onslaught of fast-track projects.

Wary of new Government rules said to pose “very significant” growth-related risks when it’s already carefully counting dollars, city bean counters are on the hunt for “value capture” tools to help keep up with demand in the growing city.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.

Amazing catering provided by Blue Carrot
