Carl from Brooklyn Residents Association Incorporated

Todman Street maintenance and upgrade (22/08/2022) - GBRAI appreciate the disruption this work has caused for pedestrians, particularly those walking up and down from Kowhai Park and Panorama Heights.

Todays update is the WCC contractor (Fulton Hogan) expects to lay some 22 tonnes of blacktop on the section of Todman St from the Charlotte Ave intersection and up to the Brooklyn Kindergarten. Hopefully to be completed today before the rain returns.

Then the will complete the next section up to and just past the kindie. Works in the area after that is upgrading the four corners of the OTC lights (Ohiro/Todman/Cleveland)

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
