Kmart has recalled a line of wooden trays after reports of an invasive wood-eating beetle species within them. A Northland woman found sawdust and holes in her serving tray and alerted the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI), the government’s biosecurity agency.

What you need to know:
- The product is called Large $20 Acacia Serving Tray and was sold nationally.
- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.

Anyone who finds a suspected exotic pest is encouraged to call MPI’s hotline on 0800 80 99 66.

Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.

By David Hill, Local Democracy Reporter

Jeff Millward is ‘‘pretty rapt’’ to make the chief executive role permanent.

Millward has been the Waimakariri District Council’s acting chief executive for the past 10 months and has been confirmed as the new boss.

‘‘The last 10 months have given me a really good insight into the role,’’ he said.

‘‘I’ve acted in the past, so I put my hand up this time and went for it.’’

He said the last 10 months had been a challenging time with Covid, high inflation and staff recruitment challenges.

Millward now has one major appointment to make - finding a new finance and business support manager, a role he has filled for 14 years.
He has been with the council for 38 years.

‘‘It is really good to represent the community and the council I have worked for, for the last 38 years.’’

Mayor Dan Gordon said Millward stood out among ‘‘a range of exceptional applicants’’.

‘‘Jeff stood out as someone who is diligent, strategic, focused and has a strong and genuine connection to the district, its people, and our council. Jeff was the unanimous choice.

‘‘He believes in creating a strong team and working collaboratively on the problems facing the district and sector.’’

‘‘While he has been renowned for his financial management, more recently we have seen him demonstrate the breadth of his skillset as a leader.’’
