Loud incessant car 'burnouts' noise

Jayne from Onehunga

Hey there Neighborly neighbours!

Does anyone in Onehunga/Penrose area have any idea or know where the incessant and very loud car burnouts noise, that has been going on non stop all day today (Sunday) is generating from? I thought maybe Waikaraka park speedway, but in order to contact them, you have to call council, and can't get through to them as I'm sure they are inundated dealing with helping Flood and Cyclone victims. We get ONE quiet day around here, with no loud construction noise(big building site opposite my house), and the incessant screeching tyres and loud revving engines noise is doing my head in, so if I could identify it's origin, I might be able to get appropriate people/agency to deal with it. I do know decibel level noise limits are greatly reduced on Sundays for residential areas. I think around 40-50 decibels. This is definitely over that. Anyway, any light anyone can shed would be great! Thanks.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
