We’re looking for people to join one of two reference groups for Plan Change 48.
As part of continuing our review of the Landscape and Ecology chapters of our District Plan, we need local knowledge to help refine our direction to ensure that the planning response supports our community’s wellbeing and our environment.
We’re now seeking expressions of interest for membership on two community reference groups as part of the extended pre-consultation, a suggestion made by speakers at a recent Council meeting.
The proposal is to have an indigenous biodiversity reference group and a separate reference group for important landscapes.
Interested? Go to upperhuttcity.com/pc48 to find out more. Expressions of interest close on 15 October 2021 ⏰

THE POST FOREGOES ITS OWN TEAM
Wellington Lions (men's provincial rugby rep team) brilliantly won the Bunnings NPC last Saturday but The Post (Wellington's daily newspaper) has done absolutely no follow-up article/story in the days following the brief report on the Monday edition.
In fact the Auckland-based NZ Herald carried much more surrounding Wellington's success.
What use is this Wellington newspaper - the "great" amalgamated successor of the Dominion and The Evening Post which had presented a Trump-like lie in stating it was going to to be twice as good and as large as either of the two newspapers it derived from and with a smorgasbord of journalists.
Today it is a limp, dwindling, sometimes delivered soggy cut-down-to-comic-size newspaper that cannot even capture the essence of a stunning sports win by an outstanding team of Super Rugby and All Black quality players within its realm of distribution.
