Significant Natural Areas cause concern

An Auckland Council request to undertake an ecological survey on 252 properties in rural Rodney has ruffled the feathers of a number of affected landholders. The Council was seeking permission for staff to access properties to undertake the survey, as part of work on assessing Significant Natural Areas (SNAs).

Council building use options canvassed

A year on from amalgamation around 20 percent of the former Rodney District Council headquarters in Centreway Road remains vacant and plans for the property’s future are on hold, pending completion of an Auckland Council Accommodation Strategy in 2012.

 

Rate reductions anticipated for Rodney farmers

Reduced values and a change from land-based to a capital rating system are likely to add up to good news for Rodney farmers when Auckland City rates are struck.
