Have your say

Porirua City Council

Have your say on the Titahi Bay US Marines Hall.

We are seeking public input into how the hall should be memorialised, if the decision is taken to demolish it.

The Marines Hall in Titahi Bay has stood at the heart of the community for over 75 years and has a special place in the memories of local whānau.

How can you have your say? The online survey is the easiest way to have your say and can be found on the Marines Hall memorial project page on the Council’s website.

Drop-in sessions – you can share your ideas in person at one of our drop-in sessions outside the hall (if it’s raining, held in the Titahi Bay library).

There are two dates:

• Wednesday 23 September, 3-5pm
• Saturday 26 September, 1.30-3.30pm.

If a survey is not for you, share your thoughts or story with us via parksfeedback@poriruacity.govt.nz The feedback collected will be available to the community towards the end of the year and you can share your stories at the Marines Hall Memorial Project page on the Council’s website.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
