New central bus hub on Rose Street upgrades - funding secured

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Following the upgrade of the roading infrastructure we completed in June 2022, the next upgrade at the Rose Street bus hub will renew the existing bus hub buildings with new public toilets, staff facilities, a ticketing office and a covered waiting area with seating. A new pedestrian link to Vine Street will provide a safer and more user-friendly walking connection into the city centre.

Work is expected to take place March 2024 - September 2024, funded from the Transport Choices Package from Waka Kotahi.

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.
