TAMATI PLACE

Heather from Waikanae Beach

Our property backs on to the large vacant piece of land known as Tamaki Place (off Barrett Drive). It is owned by the Waikanae Land Company. In past years a contractor has mowen the weeds, grasses and black berries at least once a year, but it has been quite some time now since it has been cleared. I am concerned about the height of the grass near our boundary. I used to pay a gardener every three months to keep the boundary clear but it became too expensive to pay for the upkeep of someone else's property!! I have tried through lawyers and the Kapiti Coast District Council to get contact details for WLC, but to no avail. Does anyone know how WLC can be contacted so the grass can be cut? Thank you.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
