Every year, summer means an influx of Kiwis to beaches, rivers and campgrounds all over Aotearoa. Kiwis love summer – it’s in our DNA – but if we’re honest, we’re not always very good at it. Stay safe with a few tips from Westpac:

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.

And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Canterbury’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 664 missions keeping Kiwis safe.

Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Commuter towns likely home of future Christchurch residents

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Commuter towns must take their share of new residents as greater Christchurch's population balloons by as much as 50 per cent in the next 30 years, a new report says.

Commuter towns must take their share of new residents as greater Christchurch's population balloons by as much as 50 per cent in the next 30 years, a new report says.

The draft report says a combination of population growth and social change means up to 86,000 new homes, more that previously thought, will be needed by 2048. However, it warns the growth in satellite towns like Rangiora and Rolleston will lead to increased traffic congestion without better public transport.

Estimates have put greater Christchurch's population in 30 years at between 618,000 and 742,000, up from 428,000 now.

Hi neighbours,

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.

A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.

A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.
