THANK YOU

Denise Lee MP

Hi neighbours, just a quick thank you to those who came out last night to the Mt Wellington Masterplan Public Meeting.

65 locals passionately discussed the future of Mt Wellington and how we could foster better community outcomes through our businesses, retailers and residents. We heard loud and clear the current challenges facing Mt Wellington, including:

- No heart or hub
- Lack of quality community and recreational facilities
- Intensive housing developments with lack of infrastructure to match
- Traffic flow and little parking
- Little to no family friendly green spaces/parks
- Crime and safety, and more!

A special thank you to our guest speaker Chris Wilkinson from First Retail and to our newly established Mt Wellington Residents Association for your dedicated work. If you would like a summary copy of the meeting, please email deniseleemp@parliament.govt.nz.

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.

Some Choice News!

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!
