Poll: Art on digital billboards - Have you seen any?

Jess Neighbourly Lead from Kingsland

Hi neighbours! I hope you’re all well and safe in your bubbles. Many of us have been doing walks around our urban and suburban neighbourhoods - for fresh air, exercise and breaking up the day. I’m doing my masters in Public Art at Auckland Uni, and as part of my research I’d love to know how many of you have noticed the art works that have popped up on some digital billboards, and at some bus stops around Auckland?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
