Help secure and shape our local parks!

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Every park in New Zealand must have a Reserve Management Plan to be covered by the Reserves Act 1977, but many of those in the Kaipātiki Local Board area do not have one. This leaves those parks in a vulnerable state, without guidance for the future, and potentially less secure from being sold.
So the Kaipātiki Local Board has initiated a "Local Parks Management Plan" to cover ALL parks in the Kaipātiki Local Board area and convert them all into reserves.

There are 3 steps in this process where you can have your say:
(1) All 700 parcels of parkland were reviewed to ensure that they were classified correctly under the Reserves Act. This was a huge job! The proposed changes are out for consultation until 30 August (see attached notice for more info).
(2) We are seeking feedback on what details should be included in the Local Parks Management Plan. This may be an idea that you have for a local park, or something existing that you want to remain. Consultation closes on 30 August.
Have your say here: www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
(3) When all feedback has been collected, the draft plan will be written and put out for consultation. This is scheduled to happen early next year.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
