Poll: How do you feel about Kmart coming to Sylvia Park?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Hi neighbours, the rumours are true: Kmart is coming to Sylvia Park soon. The 5000 sq m store will take the space formerly occupied by Countdown at the southern end of Sylvia Park, and will open its doors in 2019.

This will be Kmart's seventh store in Auckland. The last one opened in the Super City more than a decade ago.

Kiwi Property retail head Linda Trainer, said Kmart complemented the 60 new speciality retailers and flagship department stores being delivered as part of the mall's Galleria project. Read more about the update here.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
