Council using Naenae Hub
Ever since the Naenae hubs been open all of a sudden certain ones from the council have been sitting in there on there high & mighty stink backsides, thinking they can control certain venders like me from behind closed doors, by ringing my daughter & complaining to her because they can't handle me because I'm too straight up & there just gutless if they dont like it leave, I've been there longer than use & they blocked me from Naenae Community page because they didn't like my opion when i was told yesterday they shouldn't of done that the council because its good that people know whats actually going on in the community, when people think it honky dory & it's not because the council thinks there above everyone like this corrupt goverment, But my question after all the lairs you've said to us Chris & not explaing to us about using of the hub how much do use pay to sit in the hub & gossip & complaint what use don't want & dont like. HOW MUCH DO USE PAY TO SIT IN THE HUB OR DO USE. USE THE VENDURES MONEY to pay for use sit in there, because use didnt sit in the pop up shop all day when we used it & it was free, so tell the public which i know people have asked me too, what's your opion, No negativity Oh by the way Naenae pool opens the 14 September so there will be an Event that Saturday.

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!
