these will block the sea views of existing houses on Tyne st.
On site 2 why not build a sound shell where our many talented musicians could entertain us.we could either sit on the flat or up on King George park.Have you noticed how many oamaruvians go to caroline bay for the entertainment.
the hotels could possibly be moved further east to the old wool store car park, next to where Mr DeGeest wanted to build his apartments years ago and was stopped.What are your views?

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.

3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.

4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.

5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.
