Something lost or vandalised? Report it online!
Members of the public can now make reports online through a new reporting tool on Police’s website.
The tool can be used to report lost property and property damage.
The current offering is being run as a trial, though Police plans to expand the service so people can make other non-emergency reports online.
“We aspire to be the world’s safest country and have the trust and confidence of all.
To achieve this, our commitment to service must be central to everything we do.
Online reporting is part of our plan to transform the services we provide to the public,” says Assistant Commissioner: Service, Jevon McSkimming.
“We want New Zealanders to be able to connect with us anywhere, anytime.
Digital technologies present new opportunities for us to provide new and improved ways to access and receive policing services.”
The public will still be able to make reports through their local police stations or over the phone.

Proposed parking meters down Main Road, Tawa
Copied from a Facebook post: Your Voice Counts On The Proposal For Paid Parking
Wellington City Council (WCC) have opened their consultation on the Long-Term Plan. This runs from Friday 12 April to midnight Sunday 12 May 2024. It is advised that you read the consultation document as it covers important decisions on Water, Waste, Investments and other key proposals, one of which is a proposal to introduce paid parking in the suburbs. You can find further information and a submission form here: www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz...... Please remember to be kind in your submissions – councillors are more likely to respond to positive and well-defined responses. Tawa Business Group has heard plenty of people who are strongly against introducing paid parking and we want to make sure that WCC hears your voices too. These stories may help you with your submission.
• These are already difficult times with the high cost of living and an increasing number of local redundancies, this is an extra charge that people cannot afford.
• The suburbs should not be subsidising the income shortfall from removing car parks in the CBD. Money raised in the suburbs should be used for local investment.
• Tawa has a different demographic than the CBD. Many older and less able people rely on the services that the suburb provides and being able to park easily and directly outside their destination is important for them being able to leave their homes and reduce feelings of isolation.
• The proposal for paid parking does not follow the 2020 Parking policy that says that paid parking will be introduced if occupancy is often over 85%, turnover is low and non-compliance is high.
Our three Northern ward Councillors all voted against the proposal in February but they lost on a vote of 10:7. Councillors changed their minds about reducing hours in swimming pools and libraries so they can change their minds about this too BUT only if you submit your feedback. The more submissions we make, the less likely it is to happen.
