Park cars responsibly for major events

The Team from Whangarei District Council

What's wrong with this picture? We're looking forward to the rugby this weekend but we don't want to see cars blocking the vital infrastructure needed to get people there - footpaths. They also block access for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, and can damage underground services. … View moreWhat's wrong with this picture? We're looking forward to the rugby this weekend but we don't want to see cars blocking the vital infrastructure needed to get people there - footpaths. They also block access for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, and can damage underground services. Vehicles parked on yellow lines, footpaths or berms may be fined.

Please plan to use the free buses we have arranged, or use legitimate carparks and walk on our lovely footpaths to reach the stadium. Also, bring an umbrella and a jacket! The weekend is forecast for rain. ☔
It’s going to be a fantastic day, let’s make sure everyone can enjoy it (including those with mobility scooters, wheelchairs, pushchairs, walking sticks and so on).

Transport and ticket information here - plan ahead 🏆

Hi, Anyone else have issues with dogs at the dog park?
My beautiful, sweet natured girl just loves to run & play & I always check out the park before going in. Today, it looked good then a lady arrived with her dog who was very overbearing on mine & but next thing, mine squeals but seems ok, so I leave as fast as I can, not realising until after leaving that she has a long, deep tooth graze just under her eye! Not bleeding but another few cm and she would be blind in that eye!
Her 2 doggie besties (1 of whom I met on here!) aren't avail much anymore due to their owners working dif hours now. I have other friends with small dogs, but she needs a med sized dog like herself (black lab/staffy x) with a sweet nature like herself.

Does anyone have a med sized dog who is sweet natured, (not overbearing or nip) but loves to play & run that might like to meet mine (NOT at the dog park!)?

We could meet up on leads first & see if they're happy with each other & go from there. Pse txt 027 5141 394 Cheers, Jo
