Good to know where our rates are going........

Justine from The Brook

Letter from council as follows:

Good afternoon Justine,

In response to your enquiry regarding track maintenance in Eureka Park where tracks through the redwoods and Greenwood Track are located, our contractors have outlined the following:

A leaf blower is used to

*     Blow the debris out of the gutters to allow the water to drain correctly.

*     Remove the debris and leaf litter off the track surface to allow the water to shed correctly and reduce the slipperiness/unevenness.

These methods of track maintenance are our standard operating procedures, and allow us to manage general water erosion wear and tear on our track surfaces

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
