Good morning – this is a check-in following a wet and windy night, and ahead of a wet and windy day to come.
Cyclone Vaianu is now across the Bay of Plenty, bringing strong winds, heavy rain and large swells. As daylight increases, the extent of these impacts will become clearer.

Your local councils are the first port of call for local information, and to report any local impacts, so please check out their Facebook pages:
Tauranga City Council
Western Bay of Plenty District Council
Rotorua Lakes Council
Te Kaunihera ā-rohe o Whakatāne - Whakatāne District Council

A new scam is out there with scammers claiming to be ANZ through WhatsApp, texts, emails, and phone calls. Their goal? To get your personal or banking info — and your money.

ANZ have shared details about how to protect yourself, and these apply to any message from your bank.

Think twice before acting and...
✅Double-check who’s contacting you. If something feels off, don’t reply.
✅Contact the bank directly using official details (their website or app) - not the message you received.
✅Don’t click links in unexpected or suspicious messages.
✅Never share sensitive info like codes, passwords, or banking logins - they will never ask for these.
✅Don’t allow remote access or screen sharing on your device, even if they claim to be from a trusted organisation.

ANZ shared that they may contact you to check a transaction but they will never ask for access to your device, security codes, or to move your money.

Parting ways with my 2017 Holden Barina LS hatchback, which has been a reliable and practical car. It's NZ new and I'm the third owner.

This 1.6-litre petrol manual is fuel efficient and easy to drive, making it a good choice for commuting or getting around town. The compact size is handy for parking and city driving, while still offering space for 5 people. It comes fitted with a reversing camera and parking sensors which helps with parking.


We purchased this car to ensure our children learned how to drive a manual, which has been very handy for their current employment & a good life skill.

The car is in good working order and has been well looked after. It's a straightforward, honest hatchback that's ready for its next owner.

Features:

1.6-litre petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox
Compact 5-seater layout
Reversing camera
Fuel efficient for daily running costs
NZ new with a clean history
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or want to arrange a viewing.

Price: $7,500
