Is your paddling pool legal?
Hi neighbours,
Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?
Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.
For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?
What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

PURPLE MONTH (EPILEPSY AWARENESS) EVENT
Hi everyone! I'm Renee and I am the educator for Epilepsy NZ covering the Waitematā.
This month (March) is Purple Month, a month where we recognize, raise awareness and raise funds to support people living with epilepsy in our community.
Purple Month often culminates with Purple Day - March 26th.
This year also happens to be the 70th anniversary of The Epilepsy Association of New Zealand and so I am putting together an event to also celebrate that which I'm hoping will be a bit extra special!
This event will take place on Friday the 20th of March at the Te Atatu Peninsula Community Centre.
I am sending out a call for bakers, artists, businesses willing to contribute raffle items, and all around good-sorts who would be willing to donate their time and talents to this event, supporting those who live with epilepsy and the service we provide them.
I myself will be hosting/MC'ing the event and providing some live music and would love to invite along other musos who would be willing to participate in this as well.
Please reach out to me at auckland.nth@epilepsy.org.nz if you are keen to contribute or be involved in some way and I hope to see lots of you lovely people there!
