| 1. Do you have any feedback on the IAWAI Water Services Strategy? |
HCC has had a lack of consultation/ direct communication to property owners about effects on environment & there is a lack of a waste water flow plan.
|
| 2a. Do you support a growth pays for growth approach for new residential and commercial developments, including the use of growth charges to help fund growth-related infrastructure and services? |
No
|
| Please provide comment. |
It’s going to make the suburb less appealing because the rates will be high to support the new infrastructure. We will end up with ghost towns because people won’t go there and instead go to cheaper suburbs.
|
| 2b. In the current residential growth charges proposal secondary minor dwellings (i.e. granny flats) may be treated as ½ HUE. Do you support treating secondary minor dwellings as ½ HUE? If you have an alternative proposal, please explain. |
Yes,
|
| 3. How would you prefer IAWAI engage you? |
Website, Social media, Public signage, Letter / Flyer, E-newsletter, Apps, Surveys, Focus groups, Hui, Marae forum, Events (online or in person)
|
| 4. Do you support IAWAI’s Significance and Engagement Policy? |
Yes
|
| 5. Do you have any feedback on the Significance and Engagement Policy? |
Although I support this I don’t think you’re fully practicing it. HCC has a lack of consultation/ direct communication to property owners about effects on environment and there is a lack of a waste water flow plan.
