Frank Larking's playboat has been moved

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Frank Larking's playboat was moved this morning to its new home at Larking's Landing Reserve :)
A huge thanks to Total Marine who donated the time to barge the playboat during the king tide!
Over the next few months, the boat will be cleaned up and a concrete cradle will be built to fully support it. Other elements, including a second ladder, sand, rope, posts and plantings will be added as the boat begins its new life as a land-based playboat.
It is expected that it will be completed around July.
Thanks so much to the steering group of community volunteers who have worked with the Local Board and project manager to progress this project.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
