Proposed Sale of the Mt Wellington Community Assets
On July 24th 2024 the Mount Wellington Licensing Trust trustees advised the community that they had voted to sell the assets controlled by the Mount Wellington Trust Hotels Ltd and to restructure the Mount Wellington Licensing Trust into a community trust.
The MWLT Board members did not at any time seek a mandate from the community it serves to either sell these assets or convert the Licensing Trust into a Community Trust using the proceeds of such a sale.
The Mount Wellington Licensing Trust controls the Mount Wellington Trust Hotels Ltd who managed the Panmure Historic Hotel and Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre.
There is an online petition asking for a halt to the sales process and for the Mount Wellington Licensing Trust to consult and gain a mandate from the community beneficiaries.

The Mount Wellington Licensing Trust area covers, Mount Wellington, Panmure, Tamaki, and part of Stonefields, and Otahuhu. If you live in the area this is your opportunity to have a say on what happens to your community assets and trust.

House (and pet sitter0
Does anyone need a house (and pet) sitter ?
One of our boys is currently on a housesit in St Heliers, looking after an elderly cat ~ this will finish on 3rd January so he is looking for a new opportunity.
He has spent 5 years as a veterinary assistant in India and has been living and studying in Auckland for the last 18 months.
His preferred area is in the Eastern suburbs of Auckland, as he works part time helping maintain our property in Kohimarama.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
