The team from Rotorua Lakes Council

People who use State Highway 5 Old Taupo Road can expect delays while resurfacing work is carried out on the road this Saturday.

The resurfacing will take place at three sites between Hillcrest Rd and Springfield Rd.

The NZ Transport Agency says detours will be in place but people should avoid the area or expect delays.

If the weather isn’t ideal on Saturday the work could be carried out Sunday.

Once the work is complete traffic management will remain in place to allow the sealing chip to bed in.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
