Dunedin City Council is the latest local body to adopt draconian rules over possible sea rise from climate change.
In Property Talk this week, Chris Hutching reports how the council wants developers to build relocatable buildings on land deemed to be at risk.
Sally Lindsay has been looking at infrastructure construction in Auckland and Christchurch, where it appears work is likely to tail off next years.
Taupo Motorsport Park has rebranded to become Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park in memory of one of our most famous New Zealanders.
The rebrand is part of a financial and business restructure of the park following an injection of new capital by Rich Lister Richard Izard.
Another Rich Lister, Gary Rooney of south Canterbury has failed to obtain resource consent for an irrigation and hydro project in the mountainous Lewis Pass – partly because it would affect water allocations of downstream users, and on environmental grounds.
Other stories include the latest on salaries for Environment Canterbury government-appointed commissioners, technology in the office workspace, the sale of a Stewart Island sanctuary, and rural listings have fallen to their lowest in five years.
