The Queenstown Lakes District Council will be asked to initiate consultation on bylaw amendments prohibiting freedom camping at Lakes Hayes and Shotover Delta at its meeting today (26th July).

These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.
No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.
Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

The whole of life is about beginnings and endings, happiness and loss. When you suffer from a loss, it can be hard to believe that you will ever find happiness again. The staff at Avenal Park Funeral Home can support you through this time. We encourage you talk - to have meaningful conversations with your loved ones.
As well as supporting families when their loved one passes, we can also assist with prearrangements and prepayment plans. Prepayments are managed through the FDANZ Funeral Trust. It is not an insurance policy, the money you pay is yours – held in trust for when it is required.
We also offer a monumental and headstone service, covering everything from memorial plaques to headstones.
If you would like to talk to someone about funeral/monumental options or would even like a tour of our premises, please contact Nigel, Donna, Chris or Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home - 03 218 9021.
