But for some, jury service can be a huge disruption and a financial burden. Do you think changes could be made to our jury … View moreEvery year, thousands of New Zealanders are called up to serve as jurors in the High and District Courts, and it's an important way to contribute to your country.

Poll: Do people still check community noticeboards?

So, I was doing my weekly grocery run at Countdown Supermarket, and while waiting in line, I noticed their public noticeboard. It was filled with various ads and community notices – everything from local events to job listings. It got me thinking about how often we interact with these noticeboards in different places.

Personally, I always find interesting stuff on the one at the supermarket – you never know what local gems you’ll discover! But I wonder if others feel the same way.

New Zealand’s Housing Survey has been developed and tested throughout Aotearoa, for Aotearoa by The Urban Advisory to help build awareness around how people live, want to live and what barriers are in the way to achieving their housing aspirations.

Topline's involvement in the winning project for the 2024 Auckland Architecture Award for Education

Jennie Gillespie from Topline Group

Ngākōroa School won the 2024 Auckland Architecture Award for Education. Topline was selected to do all roofing, gutters, downpipes, clear sheets, flashings and wall cladding on this site. Well done to Jasmax on receiving this fantastic award. We loved working with you and all involved!

"The buildings wrap informally around a courtyard, engendering a strong sense of place. Empathy for the ‘long fingers’ of the awa flowing conceptually through the site is evident in the landscape, galvanising the greenfields school within its surroundings and cultural heritage. Input from Ngāti Tamaoho has been valuable. A palette of soft timber, brick and finely detailed screens gives a domestic scale and intimacy to the structures. Inclusivity and safety are emphasised. Empowered by the senior teaching staff, the school reflects their energy and intensity for pedagogy. Flexible learning spaces combined with specialised spaces create a friendly and welcoming environment."
