Some of the exciting things that have been confirmed from the August Council Meeting.
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ – Council is undergoing a 2 year trial of recycling hard to recycle materials such as soft plastics, electronics, batteries, and textiles. For more information search for โRecycleSmartโ.

The key difference that I see between this and NTRA is that this development builds additional parking capacity on-site to keep parked cars off the road and maintain its social licence.

Right now property developers are able to get away with building illegal structures that are improperly certified, and council is powerless to stop them.
There was another item that was discussed but not yet resolved due to a rescission motion. At this stage I know there are some comments elsewhere on social media (stringing together selective facts to infer an inaccurate picture) but if any comments about it pop up here, Iโm just going to delete them because I donโt think itโs appropriate or constructive to publish comments on an unresolved matter of this nature.
