Tauranga CBD joke

Vicki from Papamoa Beach

After reading so many posts re our CBD and the botch up of our city made by our council commissioners, I had to share something I saw online. I was looking at an Urban Exploration site ( where members explore abandoned buildings, homes and towns) and what did I see?! Our own Tauranga CBD listed under NZ abandoned cities, with a suitably atmospheric picture of our empty main street! I am not sure if this was meant to be a joke, or if the Urban Explorers really thought our city was a ghost town! 🏚️👻

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
