Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.
One key figure aboard the Endeavour was Tupaia, a Tahitian arioi (high priest) who came on board at Tahiti.
Tupaia was an expert navigator and helped Cook draw a chart showing the locations of more than 70 islands in relation to Tahiti.

When Cook and the Endeavour arrived in New Zealand, he came across our native brassica Lepidium oleraceum (later dubbed Cook's Scurvy Grass) which he found particularly effective.

Council encourages the use of heat pumps and modern, ultra-low emission burners that emit less smoke than older, more polluting burners. If you still have an open fire you’re encouraged to install a heat pump or new wood burner.
Open fires are no longer permitted in new house builds in town. If you have a wood burner it’s important to burn only dry, seasoned wood.
Don’t burn treated or painted construction timber, which produces toxic gases. For more information visit: https://www.marlborough.govt.nz/environment/air-quality
