We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. These are the business owners who remind us we're home.
Give your favourite local business owner the recognition they deserve by nominating them in the 2023 Prospa Local Business Hero awards.
Meet a family with four boys (almost) that's up for adventure - and they don't mind roughing it in the process.

Also had other awards and our AGM with Sally Sanderson stepping down and Helen Baucke our new President.
Many thanks to Sally who stepped into the Presidents shoes with very little warning and took it all in her stride with aplomb, when she hadn't even been a member for very long. Amazing woman.

What you need to know:
- The affected beaches are Piha, Karekare, Bethells, Muriwai, Huia and Little Huia
- The beaches have been closed to non-residents only
- The closures are for safety and to ensure road repairs can take place
“While there is road access into Piha, it’s limited and we’re asking people not to go to Piha to go surfing or picnicking, I know we may have a fine weekend coming up but to stay away out of respect for those communities,” Duty controller Mace Ward says.
