Proud managers of Northland Rescue Helicopter Service
Northpower is proud to manage the annual fundraising appeal for the Northland Rescue Helicopter Service which has been caring for Northlanders for over 30 years. They have transported well over 21,000 people over this time.
Every year Top Energy NZ and Northpower contribute $250k to the appeal. We have been sponsoring the service since the first flight in 1988. Last year Northlanders donated over $334,000, and we were very thankful for that generosity.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
