Let’s talk about Old Papatoetoe

Eke Panuku Development

We are developing a masterplan which will help guide the future development of Old Papatoetoe and we want to hear from you.

As we add more detail to our plan, we want to know what kinds of public spaces you’d like to see in the town centre. We’re also interested in how local jewels such as the historic chambers and the town hall can play a bigger part in the community’s future.

Come and tell us about the kind of things we need to be considering - see session times here Find out more

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Away overseas in May! Garden Maintenance 🌿

Sole Trader, Owner, Operator from Amy&Louise Garden Services

Hi neighbours! Just a quick update — if flights aren’t disrupted due to the current fuel situation, I’ll be heading overseas from 6th May to 23rd May 2026 to celebrate a family member’s wedding 💍 and spend some quality time with family.

In the meantime, I’m still actively tending to clients’ gardens across the South & East Auckland areas. If you’re needing any garden maintenance before I head away, feel free to send me a DM 🌿

Thanks so much for your continued support — it’s always appreciated!
