Seniors Workshop on tomorrow in Greytown - register now!
South Wairarapa District Council invites you to a workshop session to share your priorities for inclusion in the Long Term Plan and Spatial Plan for our district. This particular session focuses on what is needed for the wellbeing of our aging population (over 65’s). We’d like to hear from people in that age bracket and those working in the care/service sector.
All insights gained during this engagement phase helps us shape what we formally consult on in March/April next year. This is your chance to get in early with your ideas.
To register and receive details please RSVP to ltp@swdc.govt.nz by 5.00pm on Tuesday, 12 October.
If you can’t come to the workshop and can spare 5-10 minutes – we’d be grateful if you could complete our online survey aimed at people who live, work in and/or visit South Wairarapa:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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!
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!
