Public Submission Hearing on GWRC Rate Hikes TODAY

John & Evelyn Boon from Waiohine Action Group

TODAY! Is an important day. 10:00 a.m. Carterton Events Centre - WAG will be presenting our submission on the proposed massive rate hike for Wairarapa flood protection over the next ten years. Come along and support the team. Our approach is the usual one of defining the problem but also proposing a way forwards that could help solve it - so we hope GWRC will see this in a positive light but having support in the room plays a very big part of the outcome. Some people will be over the hill and far away but if you're this side of the hill, come along for an hour and hear and cheer. There will also be quite a number of other local folks and organisations presenting today and it will be very interesting to hear them too.

See you there Carterton Events Centre, around 10 o'clock onwards.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
