Please support our ideas by asking the council for the same things listed here plus add your own ideas.

New Playground being planned for Raumanga Whangarei

I will be asking for a wheelchair swing, a wheelchair-accessible carousel, oblong-shaped inground trampolines accessible for wheelchair users, sensory play equipment.

And we will do our research to find the products, and put project managers in contact with suppliers.

This is called being proactive. Children With Disability NZ, on FB and the net under CWD Northland.

Let's first make Northland the most disabled child-friendly place in New Zealand and let us roll the concept New Zealand-wide.

Our charity Children with Disability NZ members meet with some local business people at the new park site in Waipu on Saturday.

Our charity is part-funding a wheelchair swing for that site, all agreed with WDC we expect to reach our funding target of $10,000 in the coming days.

I have also successfully lobbied for facilities at Pohe Island. Onwards and upwards

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
