Rapid growth around Rototuna Junior and Senior High Schools has earned them a $16 million funding boost from the Government.

It will allow the schools to cater for another 500 students.
Do you think that's enough?
The principals of both schools don't think it will cater for the growth they're seeing.
Senior high principal Natasha Hemara said the junior school was "bursting at the seams" and the senior school would be getting close to its limits in 2020.
It was always planned to take an extra 500 students at the schools, she said, but it was helpful that the Government was funding it.

Are we happier owning our own home or renting?
It turns out one answer does not fit all.
Some people feel more "grounded" owning their own home, giving them the feeling they're planning for the future and creating a legacy. But there are people who think the opposite. Read more

These remits usually get workshopped by all councillors and voted on so that delegates know what the councillors majority vote is and vote accordingly. This year we were given the remits by email two days before the conference and had no time to consider these and discuss them or seek further information. Not a big deal it seems well read the remits which are as follows.....
1 Climate change – local government representation
2 Ban on the sale of fireworks to the general public
3 Traffic offences – red light running
4 Prohibit parking on grass berms
5 Short-term guest accommodation (air bnb bnbs)
6 Nitrate in drinking water7
Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (1987)
8 Weed control
9 Building defects claims
10 Social housing
11 Procurement
12 Single use polystyrene
13 Local Government Act 2002
14 Campground regulations
15 Living wage
16 Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act
17 Greenhouse gases
18 Climate change – policy framework
19 Road safety
20 Mobility scooter safety
21 Museums and galleries
22 Resource Management Act
23 Mayor decision to appoint Deputy Mayor
24 Beauty industry
To see the decions reached by the delegates and read the entire remits follow this link www.lgnz.co.nz...
As you can see there were a large number of remits and to expect Councillors to investigate and consult in 48 hours is unacceptable. The reason for the late notification was given as a communication breakdown by staff. Whilst I have no reason to doubt this the Mayor attends this conference every year and is a member of the National Executive, one would think that it would have been obvious to have seen ths was not on the workshop or agendas for meetings in time. These decisions do not bind our council however they bind our National Body to achieve the remits that were passed. Another lack of transparency where councillors have been kept in the dark. Time for a change is obvious.
As I have at the top of the page this is my opinion and does not reflect any official position of Council,
