Standardising waste management proposed changes - Have your say by 5pm Monday March 28th 5pm
I am concerned that our rubbish costs will go up, for those of us that don't have a lot of rubbish and don't put out a weekly bin, if the Council changes the current "Pay as you Throw" system to the proposed system to add it to our rates. I believe we should be able to opt out or select the number of collections we would like. If you would like your voice heard too, please make a submission by 5pm Monday 28th March 2022.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
