Tour the Auckland Town Hall

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Looking for something different to do this summer?

Head down to the Auckland Town Hall for an hour-long walking tour, held during December and January.

Trained guides will lead small groups across the original kauri floors and into the Great Hall where the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Who have all performed.

Gracing the Great Hall is the organ, which is one of the world's finest concert hall instruments.

The Auckland Town Hall Tours will give people an insight into the rich heritage of the Category 1 historic building, built in 1911 to house the city’s civic offices and mayoral chambers .

Tickets go on sale from November 10.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

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?
