Stormwater Contributions Update: 19 August 2024

It is worth those in Auckland building duplex or free standing homes to check out my podcast on the over-charging.

Several have been getting their contributions reduced by a lot without having to pay intermediaries a small fortune (other than 2 hours of my time).

I think I have now done my share:

I have done the discovery step,

I have ‘tested’, proven and obtained quite a bit of precedent.

I had provided instruction/guidance to you all.

I have done a bit of direct lobbying to the Council (deafening silence from them).

The opportunity is in your hands — you have been informed, you can act, and you can share the learnings.

Kirsty Merriman
For years I would plan houses, travel widely and observe communities. I also had the privilege of working for New Zealand's largest dairy company in both New Zealand and Malaysia. All the while supported by my husband and young daughter. After a while, our roles swapped and we moved to the Arabian Gulf. Meanwhile my passion for property and communities continued to simmer.

Along came COVID and had no choice but to pivot... in the words of Robert Frost, I looked for and "found the road less travelled by" and decided that maybe I could "make [a] the difference".

I look for to find insights and built a few of the houses that we need. This means a saleable house and a profitable and sustainable business.
