Recreational swimming alert
⚠️ We know it’s super humid out there right now and that our rivers and beaches can be an enticing way to cool off however, we always suggest you avoid swimming in these areas for 2-3 days after heavy rain.
LAWA is currently showing all of our monitored river and coastal sites as either an orange alert 🟠 (caution advised) or a red alert 🔴 (avoid swimming). Please check the latest results for your favourite spot before you go 👉🏼 www.lawa.org.nz...
And, don't forget you can visit our local splash pads, pools and aquatic centre for cooling off.💧

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
