Competition
Hi Everyone, Email from head office with an opportunity for us to have a concert in Westport by one of the supporting acts of SIX60. Lets get active Buller and see if we can get the Judges to pick Westport as a venue.
As the local Neighbourly Lead in Westport , we thought you would be especially interested in a competition we are running which is all about rewarding members, like you, who regularly use the site.
SIX60 is loved by Kiwis across all generations - a rare feat for a band. So we decided to jump on board to celebrate all things Kiwi in suburbs across New Zealand - because there is nothing better than a summer concert to help bring neighbours together!
Simply being neighbourly could earn you an exclusive concert in your neighbourhood from one of the supporting acts from this summer’s SIX60 tour. This opportunity is exclusive for verified Neighbourly members.
All our judges need to see is you being more Neighbourly - whether it’s posting to your neighbourhood, replying to questions or inviting your neighbours to join the site.
Don’t forget to share this by posting the information to your neighbourhood and get them excited about the chance to win this prize!
On top of the exclusive concert, we also have 20 double passes to give away to members for the regional concerts taking place in Lower Hutt, New Plymouth, Hamilton, Whangarei and Dunedin.
You can find out more about the competition here: www.neighbourly.co.nz......
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
☔️ Where’d the summer go?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Canterbury "summer" has felt a bit wet this year! We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately 🌧️ In fact, the Post reports that Christchurch experienced almost double our usual!
While the forecast is looking bright for this weekend (fingers crossed!), we aren't out of the woods ... there are a few more cold fronts lining up before winter hits.
We want to hear from you: What are your go-to rainy-day activities? Whether you’re a local legend at the indoor courts or a professional movie-marathoner, share your secrets with us!
