To help maintain the environment we enjoy, in 2009 Tauranga City Council (TCC) adopted a formal policy entitled “Use of Toxic Agrichemicals for Vegetation Management”.

This policy instigated the formation of the Toxic Agrichemicals Advisory Forum (TAAF) which is a forum of interested and knowledgeable people who can assist the TCC in their determination of acceptable toxic agrichemicals and their circumstances of use on council maintained land.

TAAF invites a mix of people with training, skills, practical knowledge
and/or demonstrated interest in environmental issues, particularly use of agrichemicals to participate in forum deliberations.

Formal qualifications are advantageous but not an essential requirement. Membership is voluntary and is not remunerated.

Meetings are held monthly

Is that a teahouse on Stewart Island?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Why yes it is, and it's also a man cave, a shed, and a builder/engineer's retirement project. Little wonder Allan Jones' quirky build is a runner-up in the 2021 Resene Shed of the Year competition run by NZ Gardener.

I have put together a draft with attached accompanying exhibits, but I need someone to check it and make sure it is in the correct format before I send it off to Australia. It is for a non-payment of a personal loan to a property developer regarding my property he purchased.
Please, if you or you know someone who may help me, I would be grateful as this legal matter is stressful, but I do not like dishonest people. I expect to pay for any time spent discussing or correcting it. Ph: 022 399 0742. Thank you.

Good on you, and good luck, Team at Benny and Brew. Thanks for bringing joy to your community.

***********

Nominated by Annika Corley from Tauranga: "Benny and Brew - Our neighbourhood was missing a great cafe and meeting place. Since Benny and Brew has opened they have given our neighbourhood a massive lift. The coffee is great and the food is divine! It's one of those places where you go for the people, and the fact the food and drink are delicious is icing on the cake. For a bit, they were able to open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings as a French bistro and the food was to die for! Due to some difficulty finding staff in the time of Covid, unfortunately, the bistro isn't currently happening. These guys have worked so hard and brought such joy to our neighbourhood. I would love to see them get an award!"
