Becoming NZ’s first Green Star rated pool

Hutt City Council

On track to open late 2024, the design of the new Naenae Pool and Fitness Centre has been strongly influenced by feedback from the community.

With a 50m Olympic pool, two Zoom tubes, leisure pool, poolside birthday party room, fitness centre and gym, the new centre will be a fit-for-purpose aquatic facility and social precinct that meets our communities’ needs now and into the future.

As part of our commitment to being carbon-zero by 2050, the new pool will be the first pool in Aotearoa New Zealand to have a Green Star rating. Find out more

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Documenting the RiverLink Project around Melling, Pharazyn St and Marsden St

Tim from Alicetown

Kia Ora, Neighbours. For the last couple of years I've been documenting with my camera the changes in my area around the extensive work going on with the RiverLink project (Melling Interchange/New Melling Bridge/New Melling Railway Station/ Melling Station walk bridge / Clearance of Pharazyn St and Marsden St and Stop bank work).

I pass no judgements on the work. My photos simply record what's happening.
Early blog posts are photo essays of the the demolition of Pharazyn St and Marsden St residential and industrial properties. Later photos are the more up to date records happening right now.
I'd welcome your feedback, especially with better information about what's happening, as there seems to be a number of sites specialising in their own work but not a comprehensive coordinated site with details and links.

Here's the link. Enjoy. www.riverlinkphotos.blogspot.com...
