Do you support the council selling social housing?
Porirua City Council is out of the social housing game, voting to sell Moana Court with the condition the complex remains as social housing.
The flats complex on Te Pene Avenue, Tītahi Bay was built in 1974 to provide low-cost pensioner accommodation, it is now worth around $3.3 million.
There was much debate around the council table during the vote on the Long Term Plan on Thursday, which would set the focus and budget for council over the next 30 years.
Porirua social services recently cited housing as the “most urgent and pressing issue” facing families they worked with.

Some Choice News!
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!
Be prepared for upcoming roadworks
SH1 Transmission Gully works until mid-February, weather permitting.
There’s no roadworks for the holiday break from Friday 19 December, and all lanes will be fully open. Contractors are back to work on Monday 5 January, at night. Plan ahead for lane closures, night-time road closures and speed restrictions until mid-February. When the highway is closed, detours are via State Highway 59 and State Highway 58.
Chip-seal works begin in early January, so drivers must do 30km/h to prevent flying chip that can damage vehicles.
