MARCH SHARP TALK
Keep an eye out for your invitation to the next Sharp Talk session which will be held at the Sharp Tudhope boardroom on Thursday, 4th March at 12:00pm. We provide lunch and a relaxed, open forum to fully debate and discuss the topic at hand.
This month we will be considering the recently released decisions on the Western Bay of Plenty Proposed District Plan, in particular looking at tradeable development rights and rules in the rural zones. We will look at opportunities arising from the decisions and a strategy for appealing decisions.
We keep each Sharp Talk session to a maximum of 10 people but will run additional dates if the first session is booked out too quickly.
