Regional Accessibility Strategy for Te Tai Tokerau
High five! There is now a Regional Accessibility Strategy, a joint-effort by all four Councils in Te Tai Tokerau Northland.
Thanks to your feedback we have found shared values, outcomes, vision and actions to improve accessibility and the experiences of people with access needs. The strategy is about what we can do to make Te Tai Tokerau more inclusive and accessible:
✅ Inclusive: If something is inclusive, everyone can be involved.
✅ Accessible: If something is accessible, everyone can use it.
You can check out the strategy or a summary in 7 accessible formats including audio, NZ Sign Language, Reo Māori and more at this link:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
