Burrell Park Project
Together with the community, Tahunanui Community Centre is wanting to turn Burrell Park into a destination, rather than just space, to create intergenerational bumping and meeting spaces for the whole community. Community consultation has shown great ideas and keen involvement from many different people and groups within a stone's throw of the park. Nelson City council is supportive and will part fund the project but are encouraging us to seek funds from elsewhere. This project is just the start of supporting the Tahunanui Community to learn about placemaking and create safe spaces, the community centre has the capacity to bring many groups and individuals together to encourage full participation. Ideas that have come from the community are shaded seating, raised stage, lighting, natural play/climbing such as boulders and logs, butterfly gardens, fruit trees, community noticeboard, artwork, static exercise bikes, chess board, basketball hoop and skate ramp. Without further funding, Tahunanui Community Centre cannot guide this project. Attached is a photo of the space and a blank canvas we create to gather ideas from all ages. Consultation is ongoing is the various stages of the project, Tahunanui Community centre hopes that by being involved in this project this will inspire others to take on other projects in their community. Thank you so much for your time and consideration for this community organisation.
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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.2% ... It is complicated
Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
