In Palmerston North, you may need smoke alarms in your house if you're putting a swimming pool in the garden.
In Christchurch you must put your wheelie rubbish bins a minimum of 50cm apart.
In Manukau you need a building consent if you move a toilet to the opposite corner of the bathroom.
In Invercargill you need a building consent to change tap positions in a sink.
Putting in an above-ground swimming pool in Waitakere requires a building consent, plus a $1000 deposit in case a builder's truck damages the road.
My own favourite:
In Waimakariri district you can't build within 250m of another property if the other owner spreads pig effluent on their lawn.

Wow, you have even daft councils down there. I don't need that. I usually mess it up without needing the assistance of a council.
Dear Gomad,
Hope your are really,really soon back with your Tono. I think your caring employer owes you multiple weekend getaways in super plus hotel suites, with amazing food too.
you only have to report to me on the food, care and loving concern for you and that Mexican Husband you've aquired some how.
Maybe I should learn to swim?????????
Sounds like England!
Dear Mickle, I met my man while swimming and my weak pick-up line was somehow "I'm learning Spanish" (which I still can't speak)... but we were talking about food. I have somehow adapted and don't think Indians are having especially hot food. I rally need to get home, not only to have some laps with my man.
Oh my oh my oh my! These bring up so many questions for me. How funny. Thank you for sharing.
haa haa.....need smoke alarms in the house if you have a swimming pool in the garden.
Blessings to you today.
Dear Jules
Just wrote a brillo reply, then then system ate it.
FOLKS - still getting used to Dear Dad's cast laptop that is umptyzillions times more "oompphy' than the heirloom PC, just sometimes the laptop gets away on me.
Dear Jules, will try again in the morn ing, NZ time, unlike this right wotsit that is on Greenwich Meantime - GMT.
Will try to sort the laptop time out tomorrow.
The world's gone mad!
Jules - the "cardeck" up at road level had to be replaced about 5 years ago. Is a 3 level (as it goes down at angle access off our private road) wooden deck for parking cars on.
To meet all the Council building regulations, when the Building Inspectotr came, we had to prove that each of our flats (I live in mine) had a suitable smoke alarm). LOL. My new car deck is in no way attached to the flats, but the smoke alarm I had to (and already did) have.
With the swimming pool was in case the pool fence caught fire thus the house burnt too. What if it is a metal fence?
Keep laughing everyone. And sharing the laughter and joy - and the daftness, please.
John G echoed my thoughts:)
political correctness gone mad
you should come and live in greece - garage is dumped from teh balcony into the communal rubbish bin, in the same way as basketball shooting (in the opposite direction of course)
