Free Tree

Tauranga City Council

🌲 We’re celebrating Arbor Day this week by launching Free Tree Day 🌳

We have lots of native trees like Pōhutukawa, large-leaved Kōwhai, Tōtara, and Kōhūhū to giveaway as we look to increase the city’s tree canopy coverage.

Free native tree? Yeah, I’m in:

👉Be at Mercury Baypark on Sunday, 9 June between 9am – 1pm
👉 One tree per household on a first come, first served basis
👉No trailers necessary as a tree will fit in a car
👉 Fuel up at the coffee cart while you’re there
👉Contribute to increasing Tauranga tree canopy coverage from 22% to 30% or more.

We have 1900 trees to giveaway so share with your friends and whānau and let’s improve our urban greenery and biodiversity together.

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?
