Wellington International Airport and Airways New Zealand have been receiving genuine messages of suffering, from community members with existing health and wellbeing concerns, since the flight path changed 18 months ago. The Airport’s latest noise report shows that, according to WHO research, one-fifth of our neighbours could be suffering levels associated with adverse health effects.

This is one of many issues, including legal, public health and safety concerns (involving Civil Aviation Authority of NZ, and Wellington City Council as a shareholder).

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
