Drop-in session on closing the Waitākere Ranges

Communications from Waitākere Ranges Local Board

Drop-in session on closing the Waitākere Ranges this Friday 16 March, 10am – 2pm at Arataki Visitor Centre.

Come along and ask questions or give feedback on Auckland Council’s Environment and Community Committee’s recent proposal to close the forested areas of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park (with some exceptions) by 1 May 2018 to help protect against kauri dieback disease.

We are seeking feedback on the closure before a final decision is made on 10 April. Last week we also launched a survey, which you can fill out here:

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)
.
