Hi neighbours,

In an emergency, your household may have to care for yourselves and your pets for up to 7 days until water distribution points are set up. If an earthquake hit it may be even longer before water service is restored.

Get prepared and buy your water tank from the Tip Shop at the Southern Landfill – and remember to refresh the water twice a year.

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
