High density residential zone suggested for Porirua
Porirua could one day have high density residential housing, six storeys high.
The zone request from the Crown’s public housing agency was made when the council sought public feedback on the city’s proposed District Plan last year.
However, details of the request only came to light in a public notice in Tuesday’s Dominion Post, summarising requests made during the District Plan submissions process, and asking for further submissions from the public.
What do you think of the prospect of having multi storey apartments in Porirua.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
