Here's a wee bit of a throwback to life under lockdown. Check out how this couple in Motueka helped out their neighbours who were new to the area. Have you got an unsung hero in your neighbourhood? You can make your nominations here!

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

Hi neighbours,

Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.

Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.

Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.

Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.

We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here

Poll: Is the Government doing enough to stop recyclable materials going to landfill?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

The Government has thrown $124 million at reducing the country’s growing waste pile, but not everyone agrees that’s enough.

Local Government NZ says the funding should be matched with a “strategic waste plan”, with the goal for New Zealand to be able to process its own waste onshore.

Hi all

We've had a great position become available in our team and we're excited to welcome someone new.
The cleaning position is for a School in Churton Park.
The hours will begin between 4 - 6 hours per day, Monday - Friday, start times are somewhat flexible but usually 3.30pm onwards.
Later in the year these will become more consistently 30 hours per week when the School is finished with renovations.
More hours may also be available with proven competency.

Obviously working in a School will require great communication, attention to detail, professionalism and trust. You will need to have great time management, to be self motivated and very reliable as Childrens messes stop for noone.

Starting hourly rate without experience is $18.90

Immediate start available for the right candidate.


Please send your CV to Hawkinspropertyservices@hotmail.co.nz

I can also be contacted on 027 477 3 477

Kind regards, Locke Hawkins
