Island Bay Festival - Day at the Bay with Whaitua

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Poor water quality affects all of us - doing nothing is not an option.

Population growth and climate change are putting increasing pressure on our water supply and many of our water pipes are leaky or broken and will be costly to fix. A number of our urban streams and rivers are in poor health, are highly modified or are piped. Poor water quality makes our streams and rivers unsafe to swim and impacts mahinga kai (food).

Join the conversation on water with the Whaitua Committee! Pop over to our stall at the Island Bay Festival Day in the Bay 2020 on Sunday 9 February. See you there!

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?
