Housing intensification - deadline to have your say

Simon from Belmont

Time is running out to put in your views on Hutt City Council's proposals to change rules in residential zones that would allow 3-storey apartment units and townhouses in medium density developments, and on single sections in nine parts of the city around transport and shopping hubs (including Epuni, Avalon and Waterloo). Other changes will allow greater scope for 'granny flats' and tiny houses. Only if you have your say in this first stage of consultation (deadline March 9) do you get a chance to comment on submissions from others later in the Plan Change process.
Find out more here, www.huttcity.govt.nz... proposal out for consultation, or come along to one of the informative drop-in clinics where you can check out what might happen in your neighbourhood:
Thursday 22 February 3pm-8pm Wainuiomata Memorial Hall (Supper Room), Queen Street, Wainuiomata

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!
