Communications Team from Auckland Transport

Auckland Transport, in partnership with NZ Police Serious Crash Unit, will be engaging with the public at the Big Boys Toys event on the road safety topic of speed and encouraging drivers to slow down and drive within the speed limits.

We’ll also be at the Milwaukee Action Arena where we will drop a car

car crash at speed. Dates and times are below:
Saturday, 11 November and Sunday, 12 November: 11am to 11.30am, 2pm to 2.30pm, 4.30pm to 5pm.

Auckland Transport encourages drivers no matter how skilled to check their speed and "Slow Down" to the legal speed limit.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
