Hastings Draft Long Term Plan 2024-2034 Public Drop-In Session

Communications from Hastings District Council

Tonight (Thursday 16 May), we have our final in-person public drop-in session for the draft Hastings Long Term Plan 2024-2034. This will be held in the Mackersey Family Pavilion, Havelock North Domain, 5pm-7pm.

Come and discuss the draft plan with councillors and Hastings District Council staff.

If you live rurally, or can't come in person, join us for a Facebook Live session on Tuesday 21 May from 5pm-5:30pm - right here on the Hastings District Council Facebook page.

This is a strongly infrastructure-focused budget that proposes a 25 per cent rate increase for the 2024/25 year, eight per cent of which is targeted for the recovery from Cyclone Gabrielle, and 17 per cent to predominantly provide funding for building and maintaining sustainable infrastructure and servicing debt.

Tell us what you think at www.myvoicemychoice.co.nz... or return the reply-paid form with your consultation document before 5pm, Monday 27 May.

Poll: Are swear words no longer?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2023, Apple amended its autocorrect function to allow Iphone users to freely use their intended word without mentioning 'ducks'. Is this a sign of the times? Are swear words no longer taboo in our communities or workplaces?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
