Members of its youth advisory board, who are aged 14 to 24, are paid $173 per meeting, but a review has recommended the council raise their pay to match the rate of $250 per meeting, that members of other demographic panels get.
What do you think? Should young people get a pay rise? Read the full story here.
Sneak peek at some of the new paths, stairs, furniture and lookout at Hilder's Park & Larking's Landing Reserve, Beach Haven.
The carved panels from the old furniture that Frank Larking built have been kept to either be given back to the family or used elsewhere in the park.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?

Car break-ins are crimes of opportunity. If one of these thieves is walking on your street, they quickly look into cars parked on the street or near the street. If they see anything in a car like a bag, briefcase computer case or radar detector etc and there is no one around they will quickly smash a window and grab the stuff and get out of there. If they don't see anything in the car, it's not worth the possibility of disturbing someone and getting caught, so they just move on until they find a car with something visible in it.
The simple answer is to never leave anything visible in your car.
In-car cameras and similar can attract their attention just by the bracket on the windscreen if that is still there they might break-in on the off chance that the camera is still in the car. Don't leave camera or radar detector brackets attached to the windscreen if you are parking on the street.
Either take your stuff out of the car or put it in the car boot
