Video: Starting the discussion for a Housing Strategy

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Housing is a huge topic in Aotearoa, and we're preparing to enter the conversation. How can we build a collective response to housing, ensure good quality stock and maintenance, and to help the related industries deliver what we need and want?

To begin the process of putting together a strategy, we invited key speakers from various industries within the housing sector and asked them what we should consider. We also invited various businesses and community groups to take part in the discussion.

Speakers:
Ashley Church
Jade Kake
Trevor Griffiths
Ngaire Rae

We can expect this will be the start of a long journey. Set aside an hour to watch this high level discussion - the next steps could bring some of these big questions to the community.

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)
.
