Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale

On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.

Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.

We're very glad to report that Wilson's Dam (Bream Bay) is completely full, and Whau Valley Dam (Whangārei and surrounds) is 80% full. It's the result of a pretty rainy June, and locals' efforts to save water over the last couple of months.

Since we're safely back in the "normal" zone for water storage, normal levels of water conservation are also appropriate.

You can get up to date information about this topic on our Dam levels webpage.
