People think batches are only owned by the rich. Many are owned by hardworking ordinary kiwi families who wanted somewhere to rest and relax for a few weeks after a hard years work. Some are on MÄori land and are charged a yearly lease by the governing body (often a district or city council) of $5000 or more per annum, plus rates and even water charges on top. The council rules often state no renting if the batches to generate income to pay these fees. Now a new tax is proposed on top of that. The working class, or those families of lower income luckily enough to have had batches passed down the generations, will be forced to sell. So sad.

yhe first time I saw someone vaping in a car I thought it was one fire from the amount of smoke pouring out the windows. Another habit that no one needs to have.
I know some people love slowly but 6 months is adequate time to find a new spot to move too. Maybe the group of effected caravaners could pool their money to rent a large rural house and live there.
Maybe the body Corp of the flats could get together and work with the tree owners and work out a plan to remove the overgrown mess that is there and replant with nice shrubs which will enhance all properties.
