Have your say on the Pukekohe Masterplan
Last month we asked visitors to Pukekohe’s town centre how far people were willing to walk from their car to the places they wanted to visit.
> One fifth (20%) were fine walking 10-15 mins (or longer!)
> Another fifth (18%) were happy with a walk up to 10 mins.
> Nearly half (45%) indicated they’d be ok walking 2-5 mins.
> Just 15% preferred a short walk of up to 2 mins.
> Only 2% wanted a park right outside their store.
Our masterplan caters for everyone. Take a look at it here
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
