News roundup for November, 2005

On November 11th, 2005, a ten-day public hearing began for discussion of the North Shore City Council's plan for Long Bay and Okura.

The Council recommends a mixture of housing and reserves on 200ha at Long Bay, and the hearing drew more than 10,000 submissions, according to Wayne Thompson, in a report for an online property search service, Search4homes.

More than 10,000 submissions?! Is this a New Zealand record for a public hearing on a City Council plan?!
