"We are about to see an influx of people into Thames-Coromandel and we want to reduce the risk of fires getting out of control as much.'
'Being cautious and following the restrictions around fire will help keep you and your whānau and friends safe." Daryl Trim says.
Here's what you need to know:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
