The Melville Collective Impact Project
Kia ora, Teenaa koutou, Malo, Hai, Ola, Namaste:
The Melville Collective Impact project that was formed in October 2019 with the guidance of local iwi (tribal authority) Waikato-Tainui and haapu (sub-tribes) of our area. To clarify the Melville Area that this project supports is the suburbs in West ward such as: Melville North, Melville South, Bader, Fitzroy, Peacockes, Glenview and Resthills. We are re-branding our name as it does not yet attribute all the suburbs of our Area.
There is alot of changes that you would be noticing going on around our nick of the woods , or even heard about through the grapevine. That's why this project has been formed to allow our community no matter what background to be leaders for our area - to let local government, schools, businesses and health providers what we want to see in our community.
If you would like to have your say on what is happening within the community and our area please complete this short survey (at the end of this post). Or if you would like to become an active member for our community come along to the next meeting being held at Melville Intermediate on Tuesday 4th August, 5:30pm. I have included our first paanui (notice) put together after our second design meeting with some of the members of our community - we still need your say. It also explains what a collective impact team is.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Rubbish data leaves $3m hole in Waikato District Council’s refuse budget
It’s still not known how it happened but an accounting cock-up over rubbish stickers has left a $3 million hole in Waikato District Council’s annual budget.
Last month, the council was told it faced a deficit of $3.9m, mainly due to a correction to its user-pay refuse sticker revenue budget - basically, it wrongly estimated how much money it would take in from sales of council rubbish stickers.
