How do you feel about 3-4 stories popping up next door? perhaps 14-20 addresses where there were only 1 or two? how do you feel about NOT being able to appeal to the environment court for what developers do? 6-8 stories in the cbd may be good - but where else are they allowing?
all this intensification comes at cost/risk to the environment - hard ground everywhere blocks natural water drainage to ground and then adds to what goes where ..slips much lately??
get in have your say - agreed some relaxing right near the CBD and certain shopping precincts - but most of the valley is being opened up for development if this gets approved by this council - head to :-

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
