yeah nah these developers can get stuffed. devonport don't need another glass tower blocking the views

Phoenix Reid2026-07-16T08:50:46.000Z

well said, sick of developers ruining our suburbs

Stuff2026-07-16T08:30:46.000Z

more apartments? great, like we need more traffic and noise. leave the village alone ffs

Luca Reid2026-07-16T09:14:46.000Z

exactly, keep the character of the village!

Tom Harris2026-07-16T08:46:46.000Z

i get the heritage concerns but we do need more housing somewhere. maybe not slap a tower in the middle though

RNZ2026-07-16T09:28:46.000Z

housing is housing mate, not everyone can afford a villa in devonport

too right, the ferry is a nightmare at peak time already

Mason Young2026-07-16T09:17:46.000Z

as someone who commutes through there, the ferry terminal is already chaos. imagine with more ppl. nah hard pass

Stuff2026-07-16T09:50:46.000Z

bloody councils always do what they want anyway

Phoenix Reid2026-07-16T09:29:46.000Z

so proud of the community for standing up! these developers don't care about locals, just profits

NZ Herald2026-07-16T09:58:46.000Z

get stuffed, it's our neighbourhood not yours

Grace Patel2026-07-16T09:43:46.000Z

looks like another case of council greasing palms. bet they'll approve it anyway

Tom Harris2026-07-16T09:57:46.000Z

true, but it's not like the developer is building social housing either

James O’Brien2026-07-16T09:56:46.000Z

200 people showed up? that's cute. wait till they see the lawyer fees to fight this thing
