So they're gonna plan for 30 years while the govt can't even fix potholes in 30 days. Sounds about right.
are local roads, climate is global. Bit different yeah
Cool, another layer of compliance for councils. Meanwhile my boss is cutting jobs to 'streamline'. Get stuffed.
30 year plan? Might as well ask a toddler to map out their career. Climate's changing faster than my bus schedule.
Can we just stop building on flood plains? Common sense, not a bill. Ffs.
moved off the coast last year because insurance got too expensive. Councils need to get real or ppl will just leave.

We need this. The coast near our marae is literally disappearing. Just wish it wasn't all talk and no $$.
mate i walk past a flood zone every day. a plan dont stop the water. need actual rocks and drains
Cool. So rates go up, we get consultants, and nothing actually happens. Seen this show before.
But will they actually enforce it? Or just another toothless policy doc that sits in a drawer?
Exactly. We pay enough already. This is just shifting blame to councils so govt can dodge responsibility.
Students are gonna be studying this in a decade like 'remember when they tried to plan for climate change' lol
nah I'm just jaded. Hope it works but seen too many reports gather dust.
