Meet Mel and Tina
Tāmaki locals Melema'u (Mel) and Tina own Melina’s Takeaway, in Panmure.
“We’ve had so much support from the community. It’s been great to be able to start a business in an area we know and love so well, and bring a bit of the islands to people living far from home.”
There are around 900 businesses in Tāmaki. Together they create community, character, and local jobs. Whenever you can, shop where it makes the most difference.
Read more about Mel and Tina (and other local business legends like them) on the Tāmaki AKL website.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
