I'm passionate about the water quality at our beach and incensed every time the beach is closed to locals due to this pollution. I strongly encourage others who feel the same to show their support tonight and attend the meeting.

Worn once for my wedding, 10th of November 2018. It was extremely comfortable and easy to dance in! I seriously loved this dress!! I felt like a queen!
The gown has three layers; beautiful champagne blush coloured charmeuse, clear sequin to give it some subtle sparkle, overlain by shimmering ivory tulle and ivory lace.
The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and is in perfect condition ready to be loved by someone else! 💖 It's too beautiful to be kept in the closet!
The dress is a size 10-12 with approx $500-600 if alterations, it was taken in slightly at the waist and shaped around the bust (this can be let out). I also had a bussell and bow added. The dress was taken up & is the perfect height to allow my heels to peek out from the bottom of my dress. I am 165 cm tall and I wore a 3.5-inch heel 😃

Hi neighbours, NZ has the highest rate of melanoma in the world and less than 10% of Auckland's playgrounds have a shade sail to protect kids and parents. Should there be better protection at our playgrounds?

The rest of the playground was updated a couple of years ago but unfortunately the climbing piece was delayed until now.
The project is due to be completed by 24 February 2020.
We have approximately two cubic meters of Puriri firewood available to a good home. Tree came down in winter and we do not have a fireplace, so it would be a shame to see this nice burning wood to go to waste.
