Smells from the sewage processing facility at the southern landfill

Carl from Brooklyn Residents Association Incorporated

Smells from the sewage processing facility at the southern landfill - we have had the following email from Wellington Water, noting probable smell issues as they need to do work on the plant in Careys Gully, meaning some potential smells escaping the facility...

"You are receiving this email because your email address appears on either the mailing list for the Carey’s Gully Sludge Dewatering Plant or our list of interested parties.

This email is to let you know that that due to unplanned maintenance of the roller door in the Skip Bay area from 13/02/2025 at 08:00, there is likely to be noticeable odour coming from the plant while these works are carried out.

Mitigation measures undertaken include Odour suppression system / Odour blaster and Odour monitoring on-site.

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!
