Drone may have been
used to spy on teens
•From page 1
Anna said the drone was
flying near power lines. “It
just hovered above the pool
while we were swimming for
about 30sec and we were really
concerned about it,” she said.
“We moved out of the way
because we thought it was a bit
bizarre and went inside. And
the drone continued to fly
back and forth over the house
a couple of times [before
leaving].”
Anna said she doesn’t want
the drone operator to get in
trouble with the law, but said
they should keep away from
people’s properties.
“Just watch out because
it’s kind of weird that there’s
a 14-year-old in a pool and
there’s a drone hovering over
us. We just don’t want to be
spied on in a pool.”
Neighbour Carolyn Nicol
was packing for a road trip
when the drone flew over
Whero St.
“I feel like it’s an invasion of
privacy. I don’t go wandering
around other people’s
backyards seeing what they’re
up to and what they’re doing,”
Ms Nicol said.
She called for tighter
regulations over drone use in
New Zealand.
The Civil Aviation Authority
states drone operators must
have consent from the owner
of the property they want to
fly over.
The CAA does not
investigate breaches of privacy,
and investigations are dealt
with by police.
Bach feedback closes on Monday
CONSULTATION on the
future of 45 baches at Taylors
Mistake, Boulder Bay and
Hobsons Bay ends on Monday.
The baches have been
around for more than 120
years.
They occupy a strip of land
along the coast designated as
public road reserve, meaning
the public can access it.
The city council has spent
the last year looking at the
future of the baches and has
come up with a proposal for
licensing some of them.
Under the proposal, the
city council would offer a 35-
year licence for baches with
heritage value, except where
there is moderate to high risk
from natural hazards.
This would apply to baches
noted in the District Plan as
heritage items and to baches
which meet the criteria.
The owners of those
baches would be able to use
them for temporary holiday
accommodation.
For the remaining baches
where no licence is offered,
some owners will be eligible
FEEDBACK: The future of 45 baches in Taylors Mistake,
Boulder Bay and Hobsons Bay will be decided after
consultation closes on Monday.
to move them to a privatelyowned
parcel of land at
Taylors Mistake.
If a bach is not
eligible, it will need to be
demolished (subject to
resource consent if it is a listed
heritage item in the District
Plan).
A report on the future
of the baches, with staff
recommendations, will be
presented to city councillors at
a meeting later in the year.
