Free rides, games, toy making and DJ music coming to Ngāti Toa Domain

Porirua City Council

Children’s Day at Ngāti Toa Domain for 2024 is set to be a fun-filled event for our city’s tamariki and rangatahi.

Timed to coincide with national celebrations for Te rā o ngā Tamariki/Children’s Day, Porirua City Council has organised a day of fun and activities on Sunday 3 March, from 11am–3pm.

Either pack a picnic and make a day of it or purchase something delicious from one of the food trucks. Bunnings Porirua will also be there with a free sausage sizzle while stocks last.

While enjoying some tasty kai, you can listen to tunes from young DJs aged between 12–15 years-old from the Aotearoa DJ Academy.

For those wanting free active fun, the inflatables will be out, with an inflatable sports field, mega obstacle course, inflatable slide, two baby castles and a baby bouncer to choose from – plus much more!

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

Poll: Do you think fining illegal dumpers will help reduce rubbish?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A crackdown on Hamilton rubbish dumpers may be paying off after the city council more than quadrupled the number of infringement notices it issues annually.

The council trialled notices with a “don’t be a tosser” message a couple of years ago, in an attempt to prick people’s consciences, but they weren’t successful, so it has gone the other way and started taking a tougher line.

Do you think this will help stop illegal dumpers? Let us know your reason in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)
