Notification
Good evening neighbourly members.
Lately I have read about items that have been taken/stolen from residential properties. It appears that some have been reported to police BUT some have not.
It is great to see warnings being placed on neighbourly to inform people of what has been happening and where, BUT the police should also be informed!!
It doesn't matter how miniscule it may seem to you. It could be the piece missing from a bigger picture the police are trying to finish.
For a crime happening in front of you please dial 111. Give as much detail as possible. Clothing, shoes, male or female, race, distinguishing features, vehicle make, model, registration and colour, direction of travel.
For a historic event please call your local police station.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
