Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.
Are you needing any Straw bales for your animals, garden, environmental control etc. $10 per bale

Our Garden of Earthly Delightscelebrates small parts of our amazing country, Aotearoa, New Zealand and the connection we have with it. The more often we see things around us, even the beautiful and stunning things, the more they become invisible to us. Consequently, we often take for granted the beauty of this world, the ocean, the trees, the birds, and the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.

This journey through the world of art song and Lieder probes the human psyche with an intensity no other genre, not even opera, is permitted. Unhinged. Gruelling. Hallucinatory. Joyful. Beautiful. This ranks as the most searing experience any music lover can undergo.
Julien Van Mellaerts & James Baillieu: touring NZ 10-16 April

Join our team as we celebrate the 49th International Earth Day with a lakefront clean-up!
We’ll be focusing on collecting all the little bits of rubbish that can be so damaging to our lake’s ecosystem – things like cigarette butts, small plastic wrappers and other micro plastics. These little things may not look bad but they can do more harm than larger pieces of rubbish.
All supplies are provided – just bring along some water and wear closed toe shoes.
See you there!
For many, having depression is like walking through mud every day.

Taupō District Council have approved an unbudgeted expenditure of $16,500 for a financial and rating analysis of Tūrangi after the community demanded something be done at a community meeting last month.
The amount has been argued as not enough to show the community the full story.

A contractor tours the town and clears the drains of rubbish,plastic bottles leaves
etc.Great you may think.
But instead of removing them he or she ( can’t afford to be sexist these days) places them directly above the drain, on the grass berm.
A slight breeze or rain sees this debris back in the drain again.
I can only assume the contractor has a relation on the local council.
The council has been made aware of this situation,but considering what else has been a total stuff up in this town I must admit this is insignificant.

The exhibition, Colour My Autumn, has been a labour of love for Takarangi, who regards autumn as the most beautiful time of year. She was born and bred in Turangi before moving to Wellington and then London, before returning home. She said the beautiful colours of Turangi in autumn influenced her love of the season.
“For as long as I can remember I have had a fascination of autumn and its changing elements,” she said.
She said Colour My Autumn brought together elements that embraced her passion for reusing, recycling, repurposing and rethinking.
Colour My Autumn runs from April 6 to May 13 at Taupō Museum. Taupō District residents and children can visit free of charge.
Takarangi is also holding school holiday workshops during the upcoming school holidays with funding from Creative Taupō and the Creative Communities Scheme. See the Taupō Library and Museum school holiday programme for more information.
