Supporting North Shore families during difficult moments

Claire from Torbay - Long Bay

Hi neighbours,

I’m Claire from Torbay. I wanted to share something I’ve been working on that might be helpful to someone in our community.

Over the years I’ve heard so many people say how overwhelmed they felt when they had to arrange a funeral - everything happens so quickly, and it’s hard to think clearly when you’re grieving.

Because of that, I’ve started Whakaaio, where I sit with families, talk things through calmly, and help them understand their options. I also guide people in finding a funeral home that suits their needs and budget, so they can make decisions without pressure or confusion. It’s simply steady support during a really difficult moment.

If this might help you or someone you know one day, here are my details:

Warmly,
Claire

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
