Back from Australia
Hello readers
Update: And both Bekka and I are back in Auckland after two weeks away in Australia. Was a great time away and the credit card was not damaged that much after “contributing” to the Aussie economy. Early night tonight and back into things slowly from tomorrow
Colonel Hogan and Hypotenuse are all well too and glad to see us back
———————————————————————————————————
I am at Sydney Airport waiting to board my flight home. It has been a good time away in Aussie relaxing and contributing to the Aussie economy – although I am not going to like the credit card bill next month
BR:AKL will be partially back tomorrow as I complete the photo dumps into the blog and back at full capacity on Monday with commentary to resume on transport and the Unitary Plan.
So hang tight folks til Monday
Although from messages received while away it seems that Auckland needs its backside either kicked or saved again.
Then again in Aussie politics the ALP with Gillard at the helm are buggered…

Hi Ben Hope you had a great break. Following on from that info. you posted about shared land value uplift and inclusionary zoning. I cannot seem to find it mentioned in the Draft Unitary Plan, but then this might be just me. I would appreciate, since you are more familiar with finding your way around this document, if you could provide me the appropriate link. Or if indeed it is not mentioned directly, what has happened to it. Thanks. Regards

Dale, the pieces on Shared Land Value uplift and Inclusionary zoning is found here http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/planspoliciesprojects/plansstrategies/unitaryplan/Documents/unitaryplanaddendumrub.pdf in Part Two of the document. Havent checked it yet but this could be a good comparison against Texas’s Municipal Utility District Plans?
