This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Deputy Mayor Terry Sloan has visited the new Ōpaoa River Bridge site to see the project’s progress.

An NZTA project team has been busy installing the main piles to support the bridge and driving seven large steel cylinders 26 metres into the ground, which will be filled with reinforced concrete.

Over the next few months, columns will be constructed and 72 concrete beams trucked from Christchurch will be craned into place.

Discussions are also underway with mana whenua iwi Rangitāne, Ngāti Rārua and Ngāti Toa on landscaping the new entrance into town.

The new bridge is expected to open in mid-2020.
