Hi neighbours,

From today, Auckland Council seeks public feedback on proposed bylaw changes to the Water Supply and Wastewater Network Bylaw 2015.

Administered by Watercare, the bylaw’s purpose is to help protect Auckland’s public water supply and wastewater networks.

“As Auckland’s population grows, water becomes even more precious, which is why the council and Watercare are working hard to build resilience into our supply and infrastructure.” - Councillor Linda Cooper, Council Regulatory Committee Chair.

NZTA licence renewal scam circulating

A new email scam impersonating the NZTA is being sent around telling vehicle owners their licences are due.

The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.

CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).

How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website

Neighbourly will update this message as further information comes to hand.

Hello Neighbours,

As part of me tying to help people in need. I picked up a man sleeping rough and found him decent warm accommodation helped him get basic furniture. He needs a little microwave to warm and cook his food. There is also a needy student who needs laptop who comes from a poor family but is doing well at high School. I am prepared to pay a reasonable amount to donate this to them. I was able to get a bed, fridge and washing machine free, from some generous and kind neighbours. Please text or call Keith on 0275 828 978 to collect the same. Thank You,
