FLOOD PROTECTION IS COUNCILS RESPONSIBILITY
Council has decided that YOU are responsible for Flood Protection. Your property may be treated like a leaky building – blacklisted on your LIM with Plan Change 27. This plan change may also:
• Significantly reduce the value of your home
• Prevent you from doing any building work on your property – even erecting a fence
• Give them rights to use your property without asking
• Vastly increase your house insurance costs
Flood Protection is Council’s responsibility. Private properties are NOT pipes. Do not accept this plan change. There are only just days left to submit, the deadline is 18 December 2020. Remember everyone in your household can submit. VOLUME counts.
What can you do?
- Submit against the plan change – email rejectplan27bop@gmail.com for help and a template response (OR see below for a letter template)
- Submit against the time frame - visit www.papamoaprogressive.co.nz... or email rejectplan27bop@gmail.com for help and a template response
- Read on to understand how they are doing this – see attached flyer
- Tell your neighbours, friends, post on FB and neighbourly – ask them to submit too

Attn: Democracy Services, Marty Grenfell, Susan Jamieson, Carol Hair,
I am writing in response to a council letter dated November 10, 2020 regarding proposed Plan Changes including Plan Change 27.
I formally request that the Council:
• Send redrafted information letters to all property owners affected by Plan Change 27 containing clearer information and explaining the potential implications of the change on home owners and residential development.
• Extend the submission period to April 30, 2021 to allow adequate time for consideration.
• Make information sessions available in February to provide a timely opportunity for all residents to digest the information and respond.
• Amend the submission format to allow homeowners to make submissions in their own words, rather than in a prescribed format.
The information available online fails to describe the impact on property owners. As such it is misleading. This time frame for submissions is unreasonable and I note is on the cusp of the festive season when residents are planning holidays.
The letter council sent contains an error in that it tells readers the changes took legal effect on November 16, 2020. Notwithstanding that, many residents impacted by the changes have received no communication from council.
The times and locations of the public consultations discriminate against anyone working full time as sessions are largely during work hours (3-6pm). Just one weekend option is available.
Yours sincerely,
Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
