Developers moving in next door

Sara from Mount Wellington

Does anyone have experience with developers putting in high density housing next door? I have just found out that there will be 5-6 new houses going in next door and this is going to severely impact me. We will be living I a fish bowl! Not to mention it will block out all the sun in the mornings and my view will be tricky tacky boxes instead of big sky! 😡😢
What can I do?? What are my rights or at least what are the rules around how high they are allowed to go? Here’s my view now from my lounge room. Soon it will be a wall of houses with people looking into my house!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
