Louise Beuvink from Beautification Trust

Want to help shape the future of climate action in our local community? Come and have your say at this public feedback session for Ōtara-Papatoetoe.

This free workshop is an opportunity for residents, community groups, businesses and schools to make their voices heard. You can help shape the plan for a greener future for our hapori (community), whānau (family) and future generations.

Morning tea will be provided for participants.

This session is hosted by the Beautification Trust and funded by Auckland Council and the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board. Our goal is to gather community insights to guide what should be included in a local climate action plan to reduce emissions and respond to climate change.

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!
