Poll: What do you think about the Kōpū Marine Precinct?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Estimated to inject almost $60 million into the local economy over 30 years, the Kōpū Marine Precinct has sailed into the doldrums with far less commercial interest than expected.

Almost a year after its official opening, two local maritime-based companies are making consistent use of the new wharf, along with mussel farming operators, but councillors and business owners admit it’s not the thriving aquatic hub they’d hoped for.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new
