Storm Recovery Navigators Drop-in session in Glenfield
Auckland Council’s Recovery Office will be hosting a drop-in event with their storm recovery navigators on Thursday from 11am-3pm at our Library.
These events are for any individuals, families and whānau who’ve been affected by the flood and landslides earlier this year in any way and need support.
At these free drop-ins, you can speak to one of our storm recovery navigators one-on-one about your situation. Our navigators are your first port of call. Whether you have questions about decisions being made about your home, your insurance situation, accessing financial assistance, or need support to deal with the emotional and mental toll, our navigators are here to connect you to the resources and information you need to navigate your way through the coming months and beyond.
Please spread the word if you know of any friends, family or whānau who may benefit from coming along.
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
