Southgate Park Playground WCC Feedback Live
Hi Neighbours! This message follows up on one from almost a year ago, seeking support for a new playground to be built at Southgate Park. After formal proposals to the WCC and the online petition, there is finally a WCC community feedback form to decide if budget to be spent THIS FINANCIAL YEAR will go to build a new playground at Southgate Park or upgrade the playground at Sinclair Park.

it is only live until the end of next week so PLEASE take a moment (it doesnt take long) to have your say.
I hope that you will agree that creating a playspace at Southgate Park is ideal as opposed to an upgrade of the Sinclair Park space as
at Southgate Park there would be
- easy, flat access from the car park and main road, much better access for wheelchairs buggies and physically dependent
- It would allow for our community to get to know one another as you can see who is playing and stop in
- Safer playground to visit as parents know that should something untoward happen, they can get to safety and be seen and heard.
-It would encourage kids and parents to get out and be active
Thanks everyone! please pass this link on!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
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!
