Inclusive play
Excellent such a good successful week.
I have been quietly lobbying for about a month, between the council and Northland rugby over the accessibility of one of their wheelchair ramps.
Many thanks to Julie from Northland Rugby and Claire Wilson from WDC for their support.
I have just received confirmation that the law of common sense has prevailed, the ramp which is currently not wheelchair accessible will be wheelchair accessible by mid-April.
My lobbying with the council is just having success after success, I also have news on the Riverside Drive crossing good news but am not able to share it yet.
This week has been hugely successful. and to top it off our charity Children with Disability NZ has reached our first fundraising goal of $10,000 to put towards a Wheelchair swing at Waipu Activity Zone

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.
