  1. Roughly 2,500 people live in Lake Hāwea and 542 of them made public objections opposing another bottle store in the town.

    The community made it clear that they don't want more alcohol near a playground, school buses and childcare facilities. "It is believed to be the highest number of objections ever received for a licensing application in the district."

    But the committee approved it anyway.

    "While the licensing committee acknowledged the scale of community opposition, its decision document said much of the evidence presented was "repetitive"."

    Say what? Is it just me, or does this feel like a rubber stamping exercise?

    The decision is being appealed.

  6. So we've have been kicking it around and there is nothing like trying. We're going to stand up a #Fediverse instance for our area of #Wanaka and #Hawea and see what our community can make of it. Best case vision we have is an #enshitification free that allows for harm free community communication and classified ad type exchange. Any thoughts much appreciated. Starting with #go2social and #phanpy

  11. Contact Energy applied under fast track legislation to be able to reduce Lake Hawea's water levels by as much as 8m. When they felt like it.

    Locals were up in arms and farmers joined the protest. It was always a bizarre concept and the government has just rejected the proposal.

    If Contact were to build the solar farms they already have consented, they wouldn't need to try it on with this sort of nonsense.

  16. Wānaka WordPress Course

    It is hard for small organisations, especially non-for-profits to not succumb to skipping to different technology instead of investing in learning and supporting existing. We have seen this with WordPress, a organisation has a site built with it, decides change is necessary and is wooed away by a designer who is more at home in SquareSpace or Wix. Often they realise the move results in more expense and even more investment in learning a whole new system, especially when the next designer […]
