Ellen Melville Centre is looking for volunteers!
Hey Residents - we are enjoying having our community centre open on Saturdays! How about Sundays too? - can be done with some volunteer help - a fun way to do good, meet your neighbours, make new friends and enliven the city centre for its residents and others too.
For the last few months Ellen Melville Centre has been open on Saturdays which has been a huge success! We would now like to look at having the Lounge open on Sundays but we will need some help! It would be great if we had the lounge accessible for the community 7 days a week. If you are interested please let them know!

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?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
