Highland Park from Highland Park

Hello everyone - this is a reminder that tonight is the first of our FREE events for our Matariki Week Celebrations at Highland Park Community House - 47 Aviemore Drive, Highland Park.

Tonight, Paul Taylor will give two talks on Matariki and the Stars.
Come along and learn more about the Stars of Matariki, what they are and what their importance is...
We have two sessions to choose from, 5:00pm or 7:30pm.
As space is limited, it is best to give me a call to hold your place.

There will be plenty of parking onsite or park over at the Duck Pond Carpark at Lloyd Elsmore Park and walk across the bridge.

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
