There will be more. The high cost of building products and the cost rise at twice the rate of inflation will destroy any company quoting at 5-8% margins where the construction time is greater than 6 months
You are assuming that Te Reo was the pronunciation of the language practised by all tribes that migrated here around 800 years ago. You need to think carefully about this before following the blind doctrine of Auckland academics.
Planners and Councillors in Christchurch just dont get. High rise , no off street parking when many have a car each. Nowhere for children. Not every 20-40 year old couple is going to remain childless. No decent public transport. Howling winds from the NE, SW or NW. Who wants to bike or walk in those conditions. 30km /hr around the city but you can do 40km/hr past schools in the hood.Parking areas on streets now taken up by cycleways. They really had the opportunity to get it right after the earthquake disaster but unfortunately like a maiden hurdler they have fallen at the first jump.
What a self serving load of tripe. I spent much of my working life in Australia. Salary 30 -40 % higher. I was for some time in local govt in Australia. My 6 % super was subsidized 12 % by the Council. I had a Council vehicle for full private use. My staff who were on the Union award worked a 9 day fortnight. In Brisbane I had a four bedroom two lounge brick and tile home with a pool that cost $495 in 2011.Tell people who earn $18 per hour they are not on a low wage,Whats your salary Kirk. ??
Or raise the salary for care workers so that better qualified people apply. Retirement homes are making a bundle hence the investment returns. Dont let them cry poor.
Do as I say not as I do ! If your drug test is clear what does privacy matter. I would want the world to know,. Those with something to hide will be found out anyway if they are banned from duties such as driving cars.More PC nonsense from an HR department. Most of whom couldnt run a bath,
Some farmers have a conscience. Every river in Canterbury has been polluted by intensive farming . The Hurunui is on the brink of being another green mess.
exercise the common law right of abatementâ”your right to remove overhanging branches and roots to your boundary line. decide whether to return the loppedbranches, roots or fruit to your neighbour, or dispose of them yourself. You do not have to return anything you trim from the neighbours tree but you may do so. Cutting the roots as you are allowed to do may just cause the trees to get really sick.
Another council piddling around not making any decisions. The dog has attacked somebody. You (the Council) have it . Have some testicular fortitude and destroy it , then go hunt down the remaining dog and put some lead in its brain. Then prosecute the owner .
Where staff get it wrong is that they think that the HR department works for and on their behalf. It doesnt!, The HR Dept works for the Chief Executive.
The square has been dead for nearly 50 years. Ever since they paved it over and removed the buses. They are now talking light rail. The train station is in Addington 4km from the city centre. Thatll work.! They had the opportunity to build a rail corridor when the collapsed but failed transport 101 once again.
Here we go again . Another dream home. But hey I know. Lets shift the transformer outside somebody elses house. If you want power they have to go somewhere.
Whats new. We are a family of two in Christchurch. We are with Flick and our WEEKLY bill ranges from $150 down to $80 over the winter.Two storey home and two heat pumps .
I have a rental property. Rental is $440 per week. After management fees, rates, insurance etc I get roughly 52% of the rent before tax. Thats about 3.5% on investment. The house is on the market.
For some years I lived next door to s secondary school teacher. a HOD. When I was leaving for work at 7.30 a m he was going out in his dressing gown to pick up his morning paper. When I got home just after 5 pm he had already spent over an hour in his garden. Excuse me if my views are somewhat coloured.
One drive off is profits for the day ? Give me a break !. I dont condone theft but to say that you only make $60 -70 a day profit is just opening your mouth and letting the wind blow your tongue around!
Its not only Hamilton. Christchurch is no different with venues closing down weekly. There was a time when you had a bottle of wine at a restaurant you would pay about 2x what you would pay in a bottle shop. Now its 4x what you pay in a supermarket. We had a superb 3 course Japanese meal the other night and took our own wine. Total cost including corkage $72.
Sanitation of a language. We have gone from Cow ree to Ko Ree. (Kauri) What makes Maori academics believe that Maori who migrated here from different tribes from the mythical land Hawaiki all spoke with identical accents. Look at the way English is pronounced differently in NZ Oz America and in virtually every city in the UK. Some name in NZ have changed so much I find them difficult to recognize. One example Tee Ko Fa Tar. Work it out !
She got what she had coming to her. My only hope is when other ranters like Nick Kyrgios vent their ill discipline that they then suffer a similar fate. Perhaps it is time for yellow and red cards for these spoiled brats
Consent for 15000 cows. Youre kidding me. Why is it illegal for Fonterra NOT to pick up their milk. Who picks up the milk for daity factories that are not controlled by Fonterra ie Westland Milk.
If you neighbours trees hang over your fence you can trim them back to the boundary and put all of the cut branches back over the boundary for your neighbour to remove.
Its the OWNERS responsibility to get a CCC. It is the OWNERS responsibility to advise council when the work is finished and to ask for a final inspection so a CCC can be issued.Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
First fine $400. 40 points. Second fine $800 loss of licence 6 months. Third offence $1000 fine. Car impounded (no matter who owns it) for 28 days. Will never happen unfortunately while we have a Green minister who thinks saving snails is the priority
sec 91-95 of Building Act 2004 still call it a Code Compliance Certificate. Nowhere in the Act can I find any reference to a Consent Completion Certificate. Which Council is making up its own rules. sxz is correct about everything else.
I moved back to NZ about 8 years ago as a lifestyle choice. My salary is currently $20k below what I was earning in 2010 and my Kiwi Saver at 6% is half what my previous employer paid. My son left NZ about the same time. NZ salary about NZD$100k currently earning USD 250K
So its gone up by 11.5 c per litre but nowhere can I find the actual cost. Dollars to a dollop of donkey do that Jafas will still pay less than we do in Christchurch
Who wants thumping music when you are dining with friends and trying to have a conversation. Not my friends. 15 of us left a restaurant because of the music. That outfit lasted about a year.
The shame of putting out the milk bottles is that our rate of theft has increased over the years . Tokens and cash would not last long so the days of the milkman unless on an order system is long gone. But milk in bottles ? All the way !
Hello all the wannabe engineers. All made year 6 --just. Roading is not a complete science. Having spent much of my life as a roading engineer I have had such things as unknown springs come up in the middle of the road on the brow of a hill. Faulty bitumen supplied . Road metal with too much clay. etc etc Building on peaty soil as reported is an absolute nightmare. .
Some employers do have the right to know if you have a medical condition. Would you want to be on a plane where the pilot has a heart condition or allow a tower crane driver to go up if he suffers vertigo. Think about it.
Council did NOT build leaky homes. Shoddy building practice and design. Council inspectors probably on site for about 5 hours total over the 6 months of the build. If you want Council to be a Clerk of Works and on site every day would you be prepared to pay the cost.
Not sure about your knowledge. According to The AA a retailer makes about 50c per litre .which is about a 1/4 of the price at $2.10 per litre . At say an average fill of 40 litres it takes the retailer 4 more fills to cover the cost of the theft. I am unaware of any servo that only has 5 customers a day,
If the consent was issued in 1992 and job finished 1993 they were issued under the Building Act 1991. And hence called a Consent. Prior to the Act coming into force in 1992. construction was called a building permit.
