NEW opportunity
NEW: Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre Volunteers
The museum volunteers supplement the permanent staff by acting as guides to help our visitors find their way about the museum and explain the stories behind the exhibits. Their presence also offers another level of security as they circulate through the large exhibition halls, checking on the whereabouts of visitors and being available to
assist in times of need.
The attributes we look for in a guide are:
• Enthusiasm for aviation history. A background in aviation is a distinct advantage but the facts and figures can be learnt and we do provide
background notes.
• Good communication skills and the ability to get on well with people of all ages and backgrounds.
• High standards of personal presentation and behaviour.
• A modest level of fitness, as you will be doing quite a bit of walking.
• Reliability and trustworthiness.
• Ability to work unsupervised. Although we prefer there to be two guides per exhibition, this is not always possible.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
