Len Brown has returned from a month-long overseas holiday to a budget revolt by local boards and his deputy Penny Hulse not discounting a bid for the mayoral chains.
are blaming hold-ups on the people who actually build the houses that fix the problem created by the paperwork circle-jerk
i hope the functional gov
takes the whole consent process off
this dysfunctional lefty council
In the special housing areas three or four houses had been built and they were in Manurewa, Mr Brown said.
"That's not many, but what we're doing is going through the process...of enabling these new consented areas to actually get going." There were 32 consents for the areas issued, he said.
"We provide the consent, the builders actually do the building - we don't do the building - if they don't get into the building as soon as the consent's provided that's not our problem."
Not specifically council but still cone heads. Rung our water company to find out if we could change our back tenants check meter to a full meter. Yes you can they replied but as we would have to put the new meter on the council berm you will have to pay infrastructure development fees in addition to the $178 meter.
Oh and how much is that I asked.
$10,500 they said with a straight face. What is that for I asked. Well anything that places added demand on the infrastructure gets charged for. I pointed out that the tenant already used the water as they had done for 27 years. We were just changing the type of meter. Still it's $10,500.
Speechless.......
