Waiāri Water Supply Scheme
News to please Te Puke residents, this weekend the Te Puke Highway reopened!
Construction of a water mains along a narrow section of the road took five months, including lockdown. A huge thank you to everyone for their patience with these works. Work will continue for a few more weeks further along the road, the speed limit is still 50km/hr in this section.
The new pipeline forms part of the Waiāri Water Supply Scheme, a once-in-a-generation project to provide for Tauranga’s future water supply. Read more about this project on www.tauranga.govt.nz....
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)
.
