A new bill supported by both major parties strips red tape from the building process in an effort to accelerate medium-density housing.
The rule change will allow people to build up to three homes of three storeys on most sites in Wellington without any need for resource consent from August 2022.

We've had a gardening bee at Wadestown Presbytetian Church, and there are plants seeking a new home. Flax and succulents. They are by the door to the Church hall (old white wooden building) on Hanover St (Just off Wadestown Road). Free.

"I am a very talkative girl who is always up for a chat with my special human. I have a lot to say, especially when you pat me! I'm also very affectionate, with a particular affinity for head butts, pats, and being picked up. Being slow and steady in your interactions with me is really important, as I can get nervous and unsettled when approached too quickly or intensely.
I'm not your typical lap cat during the day, but at night I want nothing more than to be by your side, whether that's sleeping on you or near you. I love bean bags, and temptation treats (in moderation of course!). I'm not always down to play, but when I'm in the mood, I love ping pong balls and stringy toys!
I'm looking for a quiet home with indoor/outdoor access, and that gives me space and independence when I need it. I would prefer a home without other animals or children as my mood can sometimes change quickly if I feel threatened or am unsure of my surroundings."

Hi,
I only need a square metre or so of this anaglypta to do a patch up job. Does anyone have any of this hidden in a cupboard or in the loft?
It would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Carol

"I love birding – some days are just filled with hope and potential. I set out in the rain hoping to maybe see a few kākā/brown parrots or maybe snap a few tui on the right angle, possibly come across some rotund kererū for comedic relief. But some days are blessed with a little extra and the unexpected. Today I came across an unbanded pair of kākāriki/red-crowned parakeets (Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae) fossicking in the undergrowth, then feeding in the trees – blissfully unaware they are relicts of better times. Hopefully proof-positive they are spreading in Wellington and the Hutt Valley. Wellington Botanic Gardens."

"We have worked with Andrew Monastra of PPM for almost a year now. It took our family a while to make the decision to change to a property manager, and the whole time Andrew was patient, answering our questions and giving us the time we needed to switch. Since becoming our property manager, there have been law changes for landlords. Andrew has taken the initiative with many helpful suggestions to ensure we are compliant, and actively assisting us to find tradespeople to carry out works at a reasonable price. He has done the usual things like finding good tenants, doing property inspections and acting as our representative in a responsible manner. Andrew understands that he is working for us as landlords. He is knowledgeable, gets on with it, keeps us informed and also responds quickly when we contact him. Andrew has reduced our stress as landlords enormously. He is also a thoroughly nice guy, and we would highly recommend him as property manager."
