Important Council Meeting regarding the Council Administration Building.
Just a reminder to you all of the Extraordinary Council Meeting on Monday 11th February 1pm to 3pm to discuss the four options for the siting of the new Council Administration Building. At this meeting Council will vote on their Preferred Option for the building. It is expected that a large number of the public will attend. For this reason it is to be held at:
Suncourt Hotel and Conference Centre 14 Northcroft Street.
Please look to attending the meeting as Councillors need to be made aware that they represent the community and that their decision must reflect this.
Regards,
Tony Ludbrook
TRG Committee

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
