Thanks!

Pamela from Onehunga

A Thanks needs to be said for all those who helped me for my relocation.

First, on neighbourly, I wish to thanks all those who commented on the relocation post. I appreciated everyones comments and each one all had very valid points and a lot of wisdom with it.

Then I wish to thanks Denise Lee and Alex Saywell in their Ellerslie office. They both did what they could for the community and for me. I believe these two are there because they genuinely care about people and the community around them. These types of people really make a difference and are much needed.

Next to Housing NZ who are doing their best in their circumstances to find everyone in need a home or a roof to live under.

You just have to be persistent, and eventually, you will get results. Sometimes it is the only way.

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.

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!
