Landfill consultations (Sunday 29/09/19)
UPDATE & REMINDER Southern Landfill (the council run landfill not the two privately run ones) - has roughly four years capacity in the current "stage" / area of the landfill (but more available) and discussion of future operations and usage needs to be had. WCC are running discussion / question & answer sessions this Sunday in Brooklyn in three sessions (from 10.30am; 11.30am and 12.30pm then two sessions in Owhiro Bay later on Sunday).
Whether you consider the landfill an asset or an intermediate step towards some thing we can do better at (perhaps doing away with in the future?) we urge you to come down to listen to options and have your say. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday...wellington.govt.nz...
Street Appeal: Support Mary Potter Hospice!
Help us be there for patients and their whānau when and where they need hospice care.
Please support Mary Potter Hospice's Appeal this May. On Thursday 16 and Saturday 18 May there'll be close to a thousand volunteers wearing Mary Potter Hospice bibs and holding collection buckets across the streets of Wellington, Porirua, and Kāpiti.
Please donate and help keep palliative care free for our local communities. Thank you!
Riddle me this...
Poke your fingers in my eyes and I will open my jaws wide. Linen cloth, quills, or paper, I will devour them all.

Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
