HNZ properties within WDs

Georgina from Wattle Downs

Why do people in this area feel the need to degrade someone in a HNZ property? Whether you're a home owner or private renter, there's not much difference in living in a HNZ property. Whether or not HNZ is looking for properties, I take my hat off to all those home owners willing to lay their house out for those in need. One person in particular on this post stated 'But how can they afford 550 + in this area.. Really?! Private rentals in this area is shocking compared to most homes I've just viewed over the North Shore, yet don't get that sort of attitude over there than here. Now I can see it's not all roses here in WDs and as the saying goes 'Never judge a book by its cover'.

He taonga rongonui te aroha ki te tangata
Goodwill towards others is a precious treasure

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
