Shall I Make A Submission on the Long Term Plan?
I'm pondering on whether to make a submission on the LTP however I feel so uninspired by the options presented to me. I'm being asked to give an opinion on some things I know nothing about. Here is what I really want to have some say about:
I'm looking for leaders who are unafraid to say that a long-term plan created by previous councillors is no longer relevant in a world where the environment is being destroyed, where the rate of change has sped up to an alarming degree necessitating the need for communities to respond quicker than current planning spans allow for and where innovative, creative thinking that includes love, compassion and an attitude of 'how does everyone benefit from this' informs leadership decisions. Come on Bernie, Jo, Victoria, Sam and you others...you can do this, you can say....' the way we do things has to change'. Be bold, be brave...we're all counting on you. Scrap the LTP and start again.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
