Make Wairarapa plans for Father's Day this weekend.

Let's hear it for Dads and other neat father figures. Let's forgive him for the dodgy jokes during the year and make Sunday 3rd September 2023 a day that's all about him.

What would Dad like? We've rounded up delicious specials and fun times on offer for Dad with lunches, roasts, dinners, Drag Races and Brewery fun. Also on over the weekend is Jazz in Martinborough - check out the cool pop up gigs on around the village.

Choose a locally grown plant or tree for Dad from the sale on this Saturday at the Wairarapa Farmer's Market Plant & Tree Sale. Or get Dad a ticket for Wings over Wairarapa - he'd love that. Head to either the Masterton or Martinborough isite Visitor Centre for Wings tickets - we're here to help.
All details are here: wairarapanz.com...

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
