Environment and Sustainability and the Orakei 3 year plan
Join us at the Remuera Golf Club, (Wednesday 5 August, 5:30-7:30) for open discussions on how to address our changing climate at a local level, including working with volunteers, Ngati Whatua Orakei and organisations to restore and enhance local streams, beaches, bush areas and forest.
There is so much we can do, so lets look at what is in the draft local board has plan and discuss if it is enough or how it could be better.
Come along tomorrow night or go online to akhaveyoursay.govt.nz/orakeiplan to have your voice heard.

Show us your winter craft or DIY projects
When we are stuck inside, it can be a time to get creative. And we think Neighbourly members are quite a creative bunch. So, let's fill the Neighbourly newsfeed with crafty creations from across the country.
Share a photo below of your craft projects, recent DIY, or your hobby. You may just inspire someone else!
