Poll: Are you a fan of the pontoon?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Wellington Street beachgoers won’t have their revamped beach space finished before this summer, but their new favourite “temporary” pontoon is there to stay.

In January last year visitors to the river-side beach told the Waikato Times they were loving the new pontoon installed as a temporary replacement for the tired old jetty.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
