Plane Sense from Plane Sense

The Independent Herald has reported on the public health, legal and safety issues raised with the High Court, about the 1 December 2022 DMAPS flight path change. The change results in a concentration of jet engines above our suburbs, decibels level of up to 80dB and exacerbated health conditions susceptible to loud noise and reduced sleep - including brain injury recovery, dementia, sensory and noise processing disorders, depression and more - in children, the elderly and vulnerable members of our community. Please support your neighbours in pushing back against this change, a process that was approved under time pressure and has regulatory issues.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
