My Resene Colour Your Community nomination
I would like to nominate Ellerslie Playcentre's playground and fort, which are in dire need of a new coat of paint.
Our Playcentre is a place for whanau to play with their children and support their learning. Families volunteer their time to run the Centre, doing everything from curriculum design to maintaining the property.
The playground is used every day and has served many generations of our children, supporting their physical skills and imagination. It is also well loved by the wider community through holiday programmes, whanau nights and open days.
It would be great to see the playground with a new coat of paint, to make sure it stands the test of time and is a safe, colourful place for children to continue to explore.
Past and present families at Ellerslie Playcentre are ready and waiting to get stuck in and bring the playground back to life.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
