Help us improve consenting information on our website
Kia ora Kāpiti! We've been looking at how we can improve our website, and we’d love your help with a 10–15 minute exercise.
This builds on the survey we did on the building, property and consenting section a few months back. You told us you found it hard to find things in the structure we’d suggested, so we’ve listened and come up with what we hope is a more straightforward approach. Your response will help us organise the content on our website, and will only take about 10–15 minutes – ows.io...
To say thank you for investing your time we have two $100 prezzie cards to give away! Just include your name and email at the end of the survey to go in the draw.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
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 ⚖️
