Poll: Do you think enough is being done to support South Auckland projects?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Auckland Manukau Ward councillor Efeso Collins says news the supercity is facing a projected $1 billion hit to its revenue over the next three years is hard to take.

South Auckland was already hammered in this year’s Emergency Budget and funding for a number of projects, including the Ōtāhuhu Town Centre upgrade, the Auckland Council Manukau Hub and Transform Manukau were affected.

The council announced on Wednesday that the $450 million hit to revenue from Covid-19 that was projected this year could now snowball to nearly $1b by 2024.

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!
