Petitions regarding toilets and drinking fountain for Monorgan Rd play area

Karl Frost from Strathmore Park Residents Association (Inc)

Today we presented the ePetition and hardcopy petition to the WCC Strategy Committee for their review. We summarised the meeting held last September and the action points that came out of it, in particular the petitions, before confirming the final tally (244 ePetition + 269 hardcopy = 513 signatures) and finishing with a great summing-up statement from the Strathmore Park Kindergarten.
The presentation was very well received by the committee and there were many positive comments from councillors. A very big thank you to all who helped out in the petition process and to everyone who signed - here's hoping we will see positive action as a result!

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!
