Visit us at the A&P Show, Saturday 7 December 2024
We'll be bringing some of our stars from last year and a bunch of new stuff including Max the education dog (shown below), a super-cool kids' play-table, free fuit 🍎🍇🍌🍓🍏, and photo opportunities.
It's also a great place to stop by and have a conversation about what matters to you, what we're up to lately and how you can Have Your Say in the community. Find us near the main entrance at Barge Park Showgrounds, 9:00am until 4:30pm.
🚌 PS: You can catch a FREE bus to get there. All CityLink buses will be free on the day thanks to Northland Regional Council, and we're also providing a free show-bus from the Rose Street bus station.
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.

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!
