Reserves and public car parks around Auckland will likely be opened up to freedom campers as Auckland Council moves to meet its responsibilities under the 2011 Freedom Camping Act by creating freedom camping zones on council-owned land across the super-city.

Legacy bylaws, restricting freedom camping, are up for review. And, while new bylaws are being drafted, more sites will open up for freedom campers. What do you think? Vote below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

With cooler weather embracing the country, you may find you’re not getting out and about as much. So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.

Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.

The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
