FREE Safer Plates for our community

Shelley Smithies from Howick Botany Neighbourhood Support

FREE Safer Plates for our community 1st FEB Wed, 11.00am - 2.00pm.


Replace the regular screws on your number plate with tamper resistant screws.


Help reduce the number of stolen registration plates that are used by criminals for petrol station drive-offs, stolen vehicles, burglaries, joyriding and more.

Safer Plates is a nationwide programme which provides secure stainless steel screws to the public. These screws make it difficult for thieves to remove number plates.

Get peace of mind and bring your vehicle to the Westfield Manukau carpark located near the Food Court Entry for your free screws and installation.

No need to book just show up and we will do the rest. This project is supported by Counties Manukau Police and is offered to everyone in the community free of charge.

Please note:
In the event of wet weather this event will still go ahead however it will then take place in the under cover car park across from Number One Shoes. (Amersham Way).

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!
