Urban Farm and Composting Project
We are excited to be able to offer the residents of Upper Hutt two amazing new services that are good for our health and the environment - Mahinga Kai Gardens and Mahinga Kai Composting
1. Several gardens around the city, all producing nutrient rich, naturally fertilised spray-free vegetables. Initially Upper Hutt residents can purchase these vegetables through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system. Support a local farmer and a local family.
2. A Composting Program where we collect kitchen green waste from homes or businesses.

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)
.
