Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Concrete roads, uncommon in New Zealand, could offer significant savings in time and money for local and central government if used for the Cambridge to Piarere Expressway, according to a newly released industry report.

The report, The Case for Concrete Roads, was launched by Transport Minister Simeon Brown during an event at Claudelands on Wednesday.

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!
