The council wrote to 19 owners of possibly earthquake-prone buildings 12 months ago, but only two provided engineer’s assessments, and one requested a time extension. An earthquake-prone building is one that does not meet 34% of the requirements of the New Building Standard.

“Earthquake-prone” means buildings are more at risk of sustaining damage in a moderate earthquake. The council is not yet naming the buildings, but will be checking on Friday that all are publicly displaying their earthquake-prone notices.
The first building to receive a notice on Sunday, was the council’s own town hall building.
This week’s notices won’t be the last – the council has until 2022 to identify all earthquake-prone buildings in the district and has prioritised the CBD between Chapel and Dixon streets, and from the northern roundabout south to Worksop Rd.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.
Buy tickets for Paraparaumu.
Buy tickets for Wellington City.
We're looking ahead. We've got room now for a couple of loads [depending on size]. Anyone have recommendations or know of good firewood merchants? Like everyone, we're looking for a fair price and reliability! Cheers.
