Poll: Hybrid Work ... Game-Changer or Culture Killer? ๐Ÿš€

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Many workplaces now embrace hybrid working โ€” splitting time between home and the office. For years, people have built their routines and lifestyles around this flexibility.

But critics say it weakens team spirit, slows training, and makes collaboration harder.

๐Ÿ’ฌ What do you think? Hybrid forever, or back to the office full-time?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒฒ

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 itโ€™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.

๐Ÿš’ Our Fire and Emergency crews have been kept busy lately

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

And theyโ€™re once again reminding everyone: please donโ€™t light fires when itโ€™s windy.

Central Otago will move into a restricted fire season from 1 December 2025, which means anyone planning an outdoor fire will need to apply for a permit and plan ahead.

So weโ€™d love to ask you โ€” how do you make sure youโ€™re being fire-safe at this time of year?
