I’ve thought ‘what beautiful design and architecture compared to the other soul-less grey blobs that have gone up in Albany over recent years.’ I was pondering over who was going to move in - which rich, powerful corporation with truckloads of money and giant egos? Then, this morning, I saw for the first time the logos that have been erected. Please tell me I’m wrong.

Removing a benefit that enables policyholders to access new private hospital treatments when they become available. This isn't experimental treatment; this is MedSafe Approved and Pharmac Funded. Making it more difficult for about 1 in 5 people that have cover with them.
It might be okay for them to make the changes; their policy wordings say they can. More, the problem is how they did it without effective notice and left policyholders and the financial services industry to figure it out.
On the basis that neither clients calling nor product research houses have picked it up in nearly three years, this is more about how it was done than it is about people picking it up and understanding it.
I picked up too many at the pharmacy as they were giving heaps away to the public. Anyone who needs them call/text me 027 3862680. Cheers Helen😄

The applicant had applied to build 81 dwellings (later reduced to 72) across land zoned for single houses, contrary to the Auckland Unitary Plan.
The Hearing Panel has just released it's decision which you can download in full here:
drive.google.com...
It is a very thorough judgement that addresses a number of issues with the proposal. But in the end, the Panel has determined that:
"the proposal is contrary to the objectives and policies of the Auckland Unitary Plan (OP) in overall terms."
In particular I'm pleased that they have agreed with the Kaipātiki Local Board's argument that this application could set a precedent for ignoring Unitary Plan zoning rules:
"there is a potential for an adverse precedent to arise, particularly given our observations about the factual extent of the Single House Zone within the Beach Haven area, and of course beyond. Therefore, and having found that the proposal is contrary to the clear policy intent of the Auckland Unitary Plan (OP), we find that granting consent would impact the integrity of the plan and has the potential to create expectations that similarly framed proposals would gain consent."
A huge thankyou to everyone who has been involved in this process. Hopefully developers will now think twice before trying to get around Auckland's planning rules!
