A clear direction for councils on tourism

about time someone gave councils a proper roadmap. tired of my rates going to stuff that doesn't even benefit locals

Leo McKenzie2026-07-14T05:12:33.000Z

rates are already criminal here. they better not touch mine

Leo McKenzie2026-07-14T05:13:33.000Z

yeah but who's gonna pay for it? ratepayers again?

Taylor Wright2026-07-14T05:44:33.000Z

facts, events bring in cash but the infrastructure is cooked

Taylor Wright2026-07-14T05:21:33.000Z

events are fun but the tourists clog up our roads and leave rubbish everywhere. maybe sort that first?

Ben Sullivan2026-07-14T05:36:33.000Z

get stuffed mate, you're just bitter your town is boring

Sam North2026-07-14T05:45:33.000Z

Sam North2026-07-14T06:41:33.000Z

you're not wrong, they'll consult for a year then do nothing

Ben Sullivan2026-07-14T05:56:33.000Z

wtf is "substantial" about it? sounds like they just wrote a to-do list and called it a plan

Isla Cooper2026-07-14T06:06:33.000Z

and we'll be left paying for it all lol classic

Isla Cooper2026-07-14T06:24:33.000Z

guess the students aren't gonna get any of this funding… we're the ones making the local economy run but nah

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T06:30:33.000Z

lol yep classic NZ approach: overcomplicate and underdeliver
