Queens Redoubt Historical Visitor Centre in Pokeno Volunteers Wanted

Jeffrey from Pukekohe

The Queens Redoubt is a historical site in Pokeno that was originally built in 1862.
It was a Military Fortification that was an important part of our country's history during the New Zealand Wars
The Queens Redoubt Trust has restored part of the fortification and has opened a visitor center that impartially tells the story of this chapter of New Zealand history bringing it alive through realistic models and informative displays
The visitor centre is open on Sundays from 10am to 2pm and we are looking for volunteers who might be interested in hosting our open days and as the site is a work in progress we also need volunteers who would like to be involved in the future development of the site which could include some maintenance work , some building projects and assisting with archaeological work
If you have an interest in the history of NZ or have skills that could be of benefit to this ongoing project please contact us via email on queensredoubtpokeno@outlook.co.nz we would love to hear from you

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Keen for an update? The Post has you covered
