Have your say to keep kauri standing

Communications from Waitākere Ranges Local Board

Do you live or work in the Waitākere Ranges? Are you a regular user of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park? Do you want to have your say about the future of kauri in the area?

If the answer is yes, we want to hear from you.

Auckland Council's Environment and Community Committee has recently proposed to close the forested areas of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park (with some exceptions) by 1 May 2018. This significant decision was made to provide the highest level of protection against kauri dieback disease.

As part of this proposal, we are seeking feedback from those Aucklanders who will be most impacted on closure of these areas of the park, before a final decision is made on 10 April.

If you are a resident, or frequent user of the park we want to hear what you think about the proposed closure. Please click the link below to provide your feedback by 19 March:

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.
