Amohia Street stormwater project
The Amohia Street stormwater catchment upgrade is making its presence felt in and around Iver Trask Place, Paraparaumu. So far, approximately 10% of 805 metres of new stormwater pipes, and one of the 15 service holes have been installed.
Currently, traffic is flowing one-way along Iver Trask Place, with access from Rimu Road closed. Please access Iver Trask Place from Brett Ambler Way or Ngahina Street and take care when in this area. Our library and neighbours at Cafe Novella are still open for you to enjoy.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as our crews progress this important project. It’s part of the plan to reduce flooding within the Amohia and Ruahine Street catchment areas and help prepare the district to live with more water.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
