According to google tracker we were the top region for cutting down our non-essential travel early on in lockdown, and I think the results speak for themselves. No new cases of Covid-19 in our region for the last two weeks, no clusters, no deaths.
My heartfelt thanks to the amazing essential workers, parents, grandparents, youth, and kids who followed the rules of Level 4 lockdown.
With Level 3 lockdown, libraries and playgrounds are still closed. I have made a short fun video to share with you about services our libraries are still offering. The link is here...

Finally...if you are a business trying to find new ways to operate under Level 3 lockdown check out the website www.shoplocally.co.nz...
Shoplocally Marketplace is available for all businesses in the Tasman and Nelson region who want a quick and easy way to set up an online store.
This is for local businesses to get ready to trade in time for the change to Alert Level Three. The system has no upfront costs and no monthly fees, just a generous couple from Motueka wanting to help Nelson Tasman businesses to thrive once more.

Covid-19 is sadly affecting people’s jobs all over the country where businesses have lost work.
In Nelson Air NZ has a standalone business, Air NZ Regional Maintenance, that maintains the Turboprop aircraft of Air NZ. Covid-19 has NOT directly impacted the Nelson base and they still did have plenty of work to continue.
However Air NZ has proposed to take this work from the region of Nelson and relocate to its bigger Christchurch base, as that base has lost work. So Air NZ's Nelson base has not been directly affected like the majority of the country by Covid-19, Air NZ are choosing to take this work - that’s the difference.
This means approx 100 jobs will be lost in Nelson and is estimated to have at least a $10 million impact to Nelson and the “Top of the South” economy, and also impact the many smaller businesses that rely on the Nelson base’s flow-on work.
The Government says it wants to preserve jobs, but as a 52% owner of Air NZ, the Government itself is NZ’s largest single employer in NZ to lay off the most staff, estimated at 3500.
If you live in Nelson, own a business, or support a business in Nelson this will impact you in some negative way.
Nelson is the last Regional base Air NZ has left, all others have been closed. Air NZ and the Government (the majority shareholder in Air NZ) have a responsibility to all of NZ to promote and develop Regional NZ.
You can help! Please support us by signing this petition asking Air NZ and the Government to uphold their responsibilities to Regional NZ and reconsider this proposal.
Please hurry as we only have one week until the 30th April to make a difference, thanks for your support and please forward this petition to anyone else that would like to protect regional jobs

Despite the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, many people in the Nelson-Tasman region remembered the fallen on Anzac Day. They did so in many ways such as standing at the end of their driveways, hanging a colourful tribute, laying a wreath or playing the Last Post. What did you do?

The scenes are all within walking distance of my house. It is so wonderful to see people finding new ways to celebrate and honour our war veterans. My father (now deceased) served in the Korean War and it was an honour lay a wreath today on behalf of all those who have served New Zealand and their families.
In keeping with Covid lockdown rules the wreath was placed by me with only my family bubble in attendance to mark the occasion, but I wanted to share this moment with you.
Stay safe. Stay home. Be Kind.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.
What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

Lots of Nelson food and hospitality businesses are busy preparing to offer pickup and delivery when alert level 4 restrictions lift next week. Do you want a break from cooking? Craving a certain dish from your local? Who will you be ordering from?
The Nelson City Council discussed how they would make the zero per cent rates rise work on Thursday - with some of the costs having to be covered by the Disaster Recovery Fund.
