How do you see the future?
We’re working through a review of our District Plan and are proposing some big changes for residential and rural development. It’s called Plan Change 50. We’re seeking your feedback on our draft proposals now.
Two areas of significant interest for our community will be what’s being proposed for rural development.
🐑Like enabling more options for rural-residential living through rural lifestyle and settlement zones, easing consent flexibility and increasing climate resilience.
🍅And protecting our rural high class soils to enable future primary production and localised food growing opportunities.
To read the fact sheets for both of these zones and to share your feedback, go to letskorero.upperhuttcity.com/pc50
Feedback closes 30 August 2021
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
