This year Aotearoa New Zealand will acknowledge 250 years since the first onshore encounters between Māori and Europeans, with a national commemoration called Tuia – Encounters 250 (Tuia 250).

It's about what brought us together, the challenges we face and how we will weave our cultures and values into a future we will be proud to leave for the next generation.

Tuia 250 encourages kōrero, debate and reflection, and enable a more balanced telling of our stories, so that we speak openly and respectfully about our histories.

We will also recognise the extraordinary voyaging traditions and cultures of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa (the Pacific), and the feats of European explorers and the technology they developed. We are focusing on promoting the exceptional feats of European, Māori and Pacific voyagers.

• Supporting a stronger sense of national identity and cohesion in relation to our Dual Heritage / Shared Future

• Commemorating this pivotal moment in our nation’s history

• Reflecting our Dual Heritage, our First Encounters, who we are today, and consider how we navigate our future together

• Sharing the stories of our place in relation to Tuia - First Encounters 250

Marlborough ratepayers wanting to switch to solar power can now call on Council for assistance. As part of a recently launched initiative, ratepayers now have the option of adding the installation cost of solar panels, by an approved provider, to their rates bill.

Ratepayers then pay back the Council for the cost of the installation through a targeted rate over nine years, alongside an administration fee and a 5.5 per cent standard interest rate, which will be reviewed annually.

The scheme encourages the switch to solar power in an effort to improve affordability of clean, home heating and energy supply.

Walk up the Withers?

Ian Allen Reporter from Marlborough Express

Friday feels: Classic Fighters weekend. The same weekend people who haven't been up the Wither Hills in ages decide to go for a walk. Be honest, who heads up the hill for a sneaky look?

Has anyone actually got a flight from Blenheim to Auckland for $49?

Ian Allen Reporter from Marlborough Express

It was described as the "standout winner" in Air New Zealand's domestic fare overhaul. But as we know, those "lead-in" fares aren't always on the money, in terms of flight times and baggage. Has anyone actually benefited from the price drop yet?
