Tawa Comes Together for Peace
Tawa Comes Together for Peace: Opening of the Tawa Peace Labyrinth
In a time when peace feels more precious than ever, the Tawa community is creating space for reflection, connection, and hope.
Join us on Sunday, 13 July at 10am in Coronation Park for the official opening of the Tawa Peace Labyrinth — a meaningful new feature built by Rotary Tawa to mark 50 years of service to our community.
The labyrinth, designed by Tawa College student Alastair Binns, is a symbol of life’s journey — with its twists and turns reminding us that even in uncertainty, there is always a way forward.
As part of Rotary’s global commitment to peacebuilding, this labyrinth reflects our belief that peace begins at home — in our neighbourhoods, our schools, and our shared spaces.
We invite you to come, explore, and reflect. Let this be a moment for Tawa to stand together — for peace, for understanding, and for a stronger, more connected community.
Coronation Park, Tawa
Sunday, 13 July
10:00 AM - 11.00 AM
Peace starts here — with us.

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
Poll: Tightening the belt at the pump ... How are you pivoting? 🚌🚲🏠
Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.
A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. It’s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?
We want to know: With fuel prices staying high for the foreseeable future, are you changing how you get around the capital?
