We looked at a section in Nelson a few years ago and if you let the grass grow longer than 150mm they could get it cut and bill you for it. One down here you could not have a boat or caravan on your section if it was visible from the road, had to be fenced or housed | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1351306 | 2013-08-14 07:35:00 | Settle down Cato, there's an area to suit your needs in just about every city and major town, Auckland has two, called south and west, Wellington has Wellington and most smaller towns manage to organise a suitable no-go /anything goes area. You wouldn't want your Mum living in any of those areas, and the only way to secure a civilised environment is via covenants. This is in South Auckland. :o At this point in time it is very hard to find a section in a half decent area. Paying 3-400k for <600m, one would think you wouldn't be hit by ridiculous restrictions. I found this, which says places even limit which breed of pets you have. www.stuff.co.nz Buy or build next door to it and design it however you like. You see no problem with provisions to issue you a $500 fine for parking your car on your front lawn? Th riff raff probably couldnt afford to live there. It does keep everything neat & uniform in that area. Stops your neighbor putting a awefull rusty corrugated iron fence around the section, stops neighbors building a god awefull ugly house & filling up the lawn with dead rusting cars. Maybe after I win Big Wednesday tonight I'll buy two sections, build houses to their specifications and give it away to some Black Powers on the conditions they permanently have a rusting bus or two on their front yard. Then I'll sit here and see how these guys extract $500 a day from them. :p |

| 1351307 | 2013-08-14 08:41:00 | The problem is over-population, and controls (in all areas and activities) are only going to get tighter. Back in the good old days when the population was only 1.5-2 million, people built baches everywhere, people built dozens of private huts in the Orongorongos and elsewhere and nobody seemed to mind. |
