Homeless or about to be Homeless

Donna from Otaki District

A checklist for those who are homeless or just about to be homeless.
Contact WINZ and ask to be put on the Emergency Housing list
If you are looking like nowhere to go and only have two or three days left contact WINZ again. If you ring and keep getting disconnected then call into your local office.
If anyone has any other ideas of how they managed to get Emergency Accommodation please join the Homeless in Kapiti Facebook group as commenting will be turned off here due to unnecessary rude and uninformed comments from previous posts. The link for the Facebook group is

If still no luck contact Rob McCann at KCDC.

Most of all, hang in there people

Landscape Builders

Joseph from Jmurphybuilding

Hi Neighbors,

Just wanting to share a recent project we have completed for a really nice retired couple at Paraparaumu Beach. What made this project unique is that a lot of recycled materials were incorporated into the project, which kept in touch with the homeowners’ vision. We worked with them to create a tailor-made plan, and the results were amazing. We were grateful to be a part of this process.

Some highlights:

Custom bamboo planter box with inbuilt seats, creating a uniform structure with the deck. This is a lovely large structure which we are excited to see evolve as it gets planted out.

Custom garden shed built to meet the requirements of the high-wind/sea zone, but also clad with recycled palings. This was purposed as a planting and propagating shed, with polycarbonate roofing to allow natural light to enter.

Bamboo deck and stairs leading into another planting zone, Linking the back Area to the front.

We are qualified builders who love landscaping. We can offer decking, digger services, concrete, fencing, planters, and more. If you have a project we could help you with, please get in touch.

Thanks,

Joe

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
