Roundabout traffic flow trial a success
A successful traffic flow trial at the Landing Road bridge roundabout, which will come to an end this Friday, has demonstrated significant benefits for traffic entering the Whakatāne urban area from SH30.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
