Planting group reminder- Sunday 10am

Matt from Welcome Bay

Hi all,

We are a small group dedicated to improving the water quality in the Rangataua Harbour primarily by fencing and planting the margins of the Waitao Stream in native plants. We meet on a fortnightly basis to plant or prepare plants for planting (collecting seeds, potting up etc.) Anyone interested in helping out is always welcome.

Our next planting is on Sunday 22nd April @ 498 Waitao Road between 10am - 12pm (with a cup of tea and light snacks to follow). All you need is a spade (if you like digging holes) or gloves if you would prefer to plant :) Some good shoes or boots are also recommended.

This is a great opportunity to come along and meet some of your neighbours (especially if you live in the Welcome Bay area) and also to do your bit for future proofing our environment.

Anyone interested in finding out more can give me a call on 0212317082 or email waitaolandcare@gmail.com or send me a message through Neighbourly.

Thanks,
Matt

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
