Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

Just Say No to Single Use Plastic Bags from any Retailer (like your local diary)

Helen from Hillcrest

I've just bought 4 bottles of milk from my local dairy and was surprised when the shop owner became almost insistent that I take a plastic bag to carry them home. (Gosh, I thought......

I reckon I can get them home without one too and if not, … View moreI've just bought 4 bottles of milk from my local dairy and was surprised when the shop owner became almost insistent that I take a plastic bag to carry them home. (Gosh, I thought...... I made it to the counter without a bag..... I reckon I can get them home without one too and if not, I'll use one of the reusable bags I have in my car.)


We need to strongly encourage retailers especially dairy owners to follow suit from the supermarkets and stop using single-use plastic bags. Please say NO if you are offered a bag and never ask for one. Instead, let them know they should not supply any single-use bags.

If we can manage a supermarket shop without single-use bags we must surely be able to manage when buying a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread.
