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?

(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.

Recently, tenants of a brand new development in Auckland’s Silverdale decided to organise a family BBQ day to get to know each other and their new neighbours down the lane.
“The best thing about this event is everyone coming together, and the kids having a great time. This is a great place to raise my kids.”

Hello. My boy is in a need of a replacement 14" bike or parts for it.

I'm wondering how the community feels about the erection of the intrusive wall at the end of Brett Ave? I'm told by the council that it is legal and that the owner plans some mitigation of its impact and improvement of the aesthetics but it has certainly diminished enjoyment of this … View moreI'm wondering how the community feels about the erection of the intrusive wall at the end of Brett Ave? I'm told by the council that it is legal and that the owner plans some mitigation of its impact and improvement of the aesthetics but it has certainly diminished enjoyment of this beautiful walkway, not to mention its safety. Not sure what can be done at this stage, if anything.
