Lower Hutt real estate agent John Ross is promoting a plan to develop 1800 hectares, known as the Kilmister Block, as the solution to Wellington’s housing crisis.
Greater Wellington chair Daran Ponter and Porirua Mayor Anita Baker have both rejected the plan, citing its potential ecological value. Ponter supports planting it in natives for carbon emission credits.
What do you think? Is it an idea worth pursuing?
What a pleasure to meet Hayley Parsons of Clarks Beach, Auckland. She and husband Chris relocated this huge three-storey villa from Palmerston North to Auckland, and project managed the rebuild of Huntly House from London. Wonderful house, wonderful history.
Our Pet of the Day is Cleo who belongs to Elizabeth Innes from Berhampore. Cleo loves running around on Kāpiti Beach.

For just $25 includes all materials including quality tick watercolour paper and paints. Just drop your youth off, head off to enjoy one of the many local Petone Cafes and amazing shops then two hours later, pick them up with their masterpiece and a beaming smile of creative satisfaction on their dial. This could be one of the best activities they could do these school holidays AND they have something lasting to show for it after the holidays + possibly have your Christmas gift sorted.

"Hello all, I am Gabe! A fun, loveable boy who has stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. I am looking for an experienced owner, who has a suitable property for me to thrive in. I'm always up for a walk or a game to play, and I love to find things to do and keep active. I am looking for a home with teenagers or adults, and a home without cats or small animals. I am happy to play with other active dogs, and love to be social with both people and dogs. If you are interested in me and my goofy personality - chat to the canine team."

Some people put out their blue crates. The recycling truck came up the street and picked up the blue crates! The next truck picked up our rubbish and our and our neighbors yellow bins are still on the street waiting to be picked up. I've seen other streets in Wainui where the yellow bins have been emptied. Cock up?

Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
