New Playground being planned for Raumanga Whangarei
I will be asking for a wheelchair swing, a wheelchair-accessible carousel, oblong-shaped inground trampolines accessible for wheelchair users, sensory play equipment.
And we will do our research to find the products, and put project managers in contact with suppliers.
This is called being proactive. Children With Disability NZ, on FB and the net under CWD Northland.
Let's first make Northland the most disabled child-friendly place in New Zealand and let us roll the concept New Zealand-wide.
Our charity Children with Disability NZ members meet with some local business people at the new park site in Waipu on Saturday.
Our charity is part-funding a wheelchair swing for that site, all agreed with WDC we expect to reach our funding target of $10,000 in the coming days.
I have also successfully lobbied for facilities at Pohe Island. Onwards and upwards

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
