Making the Jewel of the City shine

Online Content Publisher from Whangarei District Council

Members of the Youth Advisory Group will be out at different times of the day from this coming Monday 22 January until 29 January surveying people out and about on the Hatea Loop to find out what they think about it, what improvements they'd like to see and seeing just how many people are taking advantage of this great space.

The photo shows members of Jewel of the City survey team with photo boards at the Bascule carpark, also one of the proposed development sites they are seeking public feedback on.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
