Many workplaces now embrace hybrid working — splitting time between home and the office. For years, people have built their routines and lifestyles around this flexibility.
But critics say it weakens team spirit, slows training, and makes collaboration harder.

Aotearoa New Zealand is aiming to be predator-free in 2050 to ensure our islands' unique species of birds, frogs, lizards and plants can thrive.

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?

These wonderful animals have been waiting patiently for their special someone – could that be you? ? You might need to travel a bit further than your nearest SPCA Center, but we promise they're worth the journey.
Even though we’re waiving our standard adoption fees for our long-stays, every animal is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms – all ready to head home with you. Meet all of our long-stays on our site now!

Phase 1 of the project prepares the road (drains, roadside edge, and footpaths) and will take 9 weeks with night works for much of that.
The road will be fully closed during the day for the first week, from Sunday 21st to Sunday 28th September with a detour in place. There will also be day works for a week after that.
Phase 2 is the road rebuild and resurfacing to make it stronger and longer lasting. it will be carried out in Late December, with more info on that to come.
More information: haveyoursay.at.govt.nz...
Phase 1 includes:
• Installing new underground drains
• Replacing the old footpath and roadside drains
• Upgrading stormwater system
• Laying new concrete footpath and roadside edge
• Final resurfacing with new asphalt
• Expect traffic delays, especially during peak times. We will need to temporarily close bus stops, and some services will be affected – please use the AT mobile app or the QR codes on posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.
• Temporary vehicle access to local properties will be maintained, however this access won’t be available on the day of concrete pours and whilst the concrete cures. Residents will be contacted 24 hours prior to the concrete pours to help accommodate any specific needs. If your driveway is restricted, you will need to park nearby and walk home. On-street parking will be limited.
• Footpaths will remain accessible to local residents.
• Council waste and recycling collection will continue as normal. If access to your bin collection spot is restricted, our team will assist you with an alternative location.
• Bus stops may move, but we’ll manage access to homes. Please use the AT mobile app or posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.
