Community support needed for indoor tennis project
🎾 Calling Franklin Locals — Leave Your Mark on Our New Indoor Arena!
We’re about to start building the Indoor Tennis Centre in Pukekohe! After years of fundraising, we’ve secured 95% of the funding — now we need your help to raise the final 5%.
We’re inviting individuals, families, and local businesses to become Founding Sponsors of Franklin’s newest indoor sports facility. For $1,000, your name, your family name, or your business logo will be permanently displayed on our Founding Sponsors Wall, honoring your support for community sport.
This is your chance to be part of something special — a space that will serve our kids, schools, clubs, and neighbors for generations to come.

Poll: Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?
How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.
Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.
But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
