Meeting tonight about Significant Natural Areas, is your property affected?

Lorraine from Broadmeadows

I think neighbours will be interested in this post I found on the Ngaio, Crofton Downs, Khandallah, Broadmeadows Community Group in Facebook:

IS YOUR GARDEN NOW "BACKYARD TAONGA"?
Public Meeting to discuss the Council's Significant Natural Areas (SNA) policy.

Khandallah Town Hall, 11 Ganges Road, 7.30pm Tuesday 20 July

"Significant Natural Areas", or Backyard Taonga, is a Wellington City Council initiative to designate areas of significant biodiversity on public and private land as protected. This will have implications for property rights and values. So far 1693 private Wellington properties are affected, and about 18% of the city's total land area

Mayor Andy Foster and council officers will be present to explain the policy and answer questions.

Organised by the Wellington SNA Committee (WSNAC)

To see whether your property is affected, click on heading Significant Natural Areas, top left, and keep enlarging.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
