Developers say the headcount — on site and across suppliers — underlines the project’s role as one of the CBD’s biggest employers right now, and a bellwether for the city’s confidence.

Former sevens flyer Leroy Carter will get his big chance against the Springboks in Wellington.
Carter, the Chiefs and Bay of Plenty left wing, is the notable selection at No 11 for the Rugby Championship test on Saturday which the All Blacks need to win to reclaim the Freedom Cup.
This is very late notice but is anyone going up for the march who live in Hamilton, who could fit in another person in their vehicle, aka, me?
I'd be happy of course to help pay for the petrol..
My ph no is 0275556214 should you want to contact me that way.
Many thanks

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...
We hope this news brings a smile!

The regional development minister told the Waikato Times that a visit to his office by the Japanese ambassador in the middle of last year alerted him “to the prospect that the Japanese investors didn't see a clear future in New Zealand with escalating energy prices”.
"Does New Zealand want these manufacturers remaining in regional New Zealand?", the minister has asked. What do you think? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
