AGM
I hope all Howick / Botany Street Coordinators can join us for our AGM on Wednesday 21st May 2025.
As our National Office requests information on how many houses are in your Street, & how many of those houses are part of your Neighbourhood Support group – please bring these details with you or email them.
We will be having our normal door prize draw, as well as distributing Gift Cards.
Emma Goldsworthy, Advisor Community Readiness and Recovery at Auckland Fire and Emergency who will be our guest speaker on the night, has provided the following information:
Home Fire Safety Visits:
These are the free visits we offer to provide people fire safety in their homes. We can also test smoke alarms, install any people have purchased and if they don’t have any smoke alarms we can provide and install one for them for free. They can request a visit through our website.
I have also attached a poster about Home Fire Safety Visits that you can share.
Hearing Assistive Technology (HAT) Smoke Alarms:
These are smoke alarms that are linked to a strobe light and vibrating bed shaker for those who can’t hear standard smoke alarms. HAT alarms are fully funded for those who require them and referrals can be arranged through Your Way I Kia Roha and information on this is on their website.
Electric Blanket Testing:
Fire and Emergency are running a free electric blanket testing event in Howick at Nixon Park Community hall on the 24th of May from 10:30am – 2pm.
We are also running a second testing event on the 17th of May at Pukekohe Fire Station.
Hope to see you there
Kind Regards
Shelley (Secretary / Treasurer)
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒
I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!
So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
Keen for an update? The Post has you covered
A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
