Poll: Auckland waterfront stadium - yay or nay?

Emelyn McHardy Reporter from Franklin County News

Hey Neighbours,
On Monday Auckland mayor Phil Goff announced that Aucklanders might have to wait 20 years for a new waterfront stadium.

Some have been against the idea, Eden Park chief executive Nick Sautner said Auckland already had "a stadium for all" in Eden Park.

Redeveloping Eden Park up to international standards was also found to be a chaper alternative, that would cost $700 million less than a new waterfront stadium.

Do you think Auckland needs a new waterfront stadium?
Or do you think Eden Park provides a good 'one stop shop'?
Are you glad the new stadium idea seems to be pushed back?
Do you even think we need to upgrade our stadiums/ make stadiums of an international level?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
