Friends of Karori Cemetery - consulting on the Conservation Plan

Julia Kennedy from Friends of Karori Cemetery

The Friends' are currently being consulted on the Conservation Plan for Karori Cemetery and would love your feedback. We have the following questions and welcome your answers or any other comments you have:

- To what standard do you think the graves should be cleaned or restored, or should they be left to the families to look after?

- If Karori Cemetery was to become a heritage park, how do you imagine it should look in 50 years?

- Are there areas of the cemetery that should be left to slowly decay?

If you prefer, you can email your answers to: info@friendsofkaroricmetery.co.nz

Comments on this post will close on 31st May.

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
