Fun-n-gala time! Are you keen to plant natives?

Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall to play with to learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands.

Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.

Fares on Metlink services across the region will be increasing in line with inflation from February 2021 following a recent decision by Greater Wellington.
In its annual fares review, Greater Wellington looks at the expectations of revenue and costs and determines what fare adjustments might be required for the following year to maintain good quality public transport services across the region.
One of the reasons given for the increase is a falling revenue due to Covid-19.
Under the changes most bus and rail non-cash fares including Snapper, 10-trip fares, rail monthly and MonthlyPlus passes and Wellington and Eastbourne 30 Day passes will see an average increase of 1.5 percent.

With Guy Fawkes fast approaching, Wellington Zoo and SPCA Wellington Centre would like to remind residents who live close to the Zoo to please be thoughtful and respectful around letting off fireworks as this can be very frightening for both Zoo animals and neighbourhood pets.
Last year, an animal at the Zoo died and it is believed to be the result of distress caused by fireworks.

Under the Wellington City Council Public Places Bylaw it is an offence to “discharge a firework in a public place” and this includes the Town Belt and Melrose Park which backs onto the Zoo.

Park Rangers will on patrol during Guy Fawkes night, however you can help even further by respecting this bylaw and encouraging your neighbours to do the same.
