Special Housing Area (SHA) warning!!!
On Thursday the 21/09 Nelson City Council did have a number of SHA housing developments on the agenda to approve. (meetings.nelson.govt.nz...)
These SHA developments require no consultation with Nelson residents , neighbours or communities under the new rules introduced by the ex Housing Minister Nick Smith.
I have not had time to watch the council video (www.youtube.com...) to know the outcome of this meeting yet but feel Nelson residents should be made aware of what council could be allowing in your community without any consultation as soon as possible.
SHA housing addresses that council administration have recommended to approve are: 381 Nayland Rd/ 40 Tasman St/ Quail Rise, , Atawhai Drive & Tasman Heights.
NOTE: From information passed to me it is my understanding that the developer has applied for a 10 metre high building on the site of the exGreen Grocers at 40 Tasman St.
The following SHA areas council administration have given options of approve, decline or defer subject to community feedback are:
23 Westney Terrace, 1a,3b, 3c Hill Street North, 26 Blick Terrace
If you have concerns regarding SHAs in your neighbourhood please inform your selves by watching the council video and talking with your neighbours regarding this issue and contacting your elected council representatives . (nelson.govt.nz...)
I am happy to answer any questions that I can or please contact with the Nelson Residents Association (nelsonresidentsoffice@gmail.com) who have been actively opposing this undemocratic process in past council decisions with success in stopping high rise apartments being built in Tahunanui.

Kmart duvet recall
Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.
What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
