Carols and Cake - On this Sunday!

Kate Neighbourly Lead from Raumati Beach

Join us for an afternoon of Christmas carols and cake - this Sunday!

Everyone is invited to share in the joy of Christmas at this free event.

Our relaxed sing-along service will be held in the Church Hall, where we’ll gather around tables, enjoy cake, and sing much-loved carols accompanied by our pianist.

If you’re unable to attend church on Sundays or during the Christmas season, this special afternoon service is just for you.
We’d love to celebrate Christmas with you!

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

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.
