Safeswim – an inside look at how it works

Justin Latif from Franklin Local Board

Back in November, Auckland Council launched an upgraded Safeswim website giving you a great new tool to help understand water quality at your local beaches. It provides up-to-date information on beach conditions so you can make safe choices on where to swim.

The attached document also outlines what the Safeswim symbols mean and what risks exist when swimming at beaches with these warnings.

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.
