Kulim Park update

Communications from Tauranga City Council

Check out how the new playground at Kulim Park is taking shape!

We had hoped to re-open the park to vehicles today but this week’s wet weather has delayed work on the parking areas so it will remain closed to vehicles until Wednesday 22 December. The park is still open to pedestrians and cyclists.

We’re carrying out an extensive upgrade to the park, including a new playground, parking layout and shared pathway. Most of the construction will be completed by Christmas, including the new playground, but we’ll need to come back in January to complete the finishing touches.

The good news is that the new playground and parking areas will be finished and ready to use over the holiday period.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
