Tree removal on Rintoul Street
Kia ora koutou.
As part of the Newtown Community & Cultural Centre upgrade, we will be removing a Holm Oak tree which is located on the Rintoul Street side of the centre.
This will be removed on Tuesday 27 July by our contractor and there will be stop/go traffic management in place during the day.
The tree is causing damage to the building as well as the pavement and landscaping areas. It is a pedestrian hazard due to the uneven ground and the roots compromise utility services and the building structure.
The branches have also grown through the LV overhead power lines.
The wood from the tree will go to a local woodworker.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
