Want to learn a new skill - or use the one you have?

Grant from Raureka

Knowledge Bank is desperately in need of more volunteer scanners to start clearing a backlog of work. Scanning involves working with a camera system that is fairly easy to understand plus a bit of computer work. Supervision and training would be given - hours are what you can give - and support is available at all times. People here are friendly and happy and we'd love to have you come join us - if scanning isn't your thing we have a lot of other jobs to fill such as transcribing, oral interviews, and evaluation and proof reading. Some can be done from home - but our need for scanners is critical and that has to be done at Knowledge Bank in Omahu Road. Call Linda Bainbridge if you're interested on 06 833 5333 - we'd love to hear from you!

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? πŸ’°πŸŒ²

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 it’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.
