Have your say
Have your say on the Titahi Bay US Marines Hall.
We are seeking public input into how the hall should be memorialised, if the decision is taken to demolish it.
The Marines Hall in Titahi Bay has stood at the heart of the community for over 75 years and has a special place in the memories of local whānau.
How can you have your say? The online survey is the easiest way to have your say and can be found on the Marines Hall memorial project page on the Council’s website.
Drop-in sessions – you can share your ideas in person at one of our drop-in sessions outside the hall (if it’s raining, held in the Titahi Bay library).
There are two dates:
• Wednesday 23 September, 3-5pm
• Saturday 26 September, 1.30-3.30pm.
If a survey is not for you, share your thoughts or story with us via parksfeedback@poriruacity.govt.nz The feedback collected will be available to the community towards the end of the year and you can share your stories at the Marines Hall Memorial Project page on the Council’s website.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Art and Craft Market at Kai Tahi - 10 till 3 EVERY SUNDAY!
Hi neighbours
The new Porirua Community Art and Craft market at Kai Tahi in Porirua is now running EVERY Sunday. It's all indoors, and there's over 30 stalls each week.
Opens at 10am and closes 3pm, so you can also grab lunch at the many international food court options. Bring the kids, and your dog on a lead is welcome too!
Parking at the back (on harbour edge) is free - just stay clear of the Staff Only parks.
