Mona Vale re-opening and other stories
It was nice to be present on Monday at the re-opening of Mona Vale homestead, a real treasure for our city. It was well attended by councillors, fellow community board members, council staff, media and members of the community. Sharing some images from the event.
In the afternoon, I attended a training about Tree removal process, which was both varied and interesting. Following this, we had our regular Community Board meeting - where creation of a separate Youth Development Fund was approved. To end the day, we attended a workshop about the annual plan process.
I also received both a print copy and an electronic copy of our community board group photo, taken in October.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
