New Zealand is home to some beautiful attractions visited by many every year, but studies show Kiwis aren't the ones visiting.

To make things worse, Franz Josef and Fox glaciers are some of the easiest glaciers to reach anywhere on Earth.

A 2015 survey found only 12 per cent of those walking to see the glaciers are from New Zealand.

Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

About 100 residents are without water following a leak in the small West Coast town of Stillwater.

Grey District Council utilities team leader Kurtis​ Perrin-Smith said a water leak had been discovered at the town's main pipeline just before 8am on Thursday.

He said council contractors were digging to the pipeline, located below State Highway 7 on Main Rd, to make repairs just before 10am.

The exact cause of the leak is not yet known.

"We thank the residents for their patience. There are contractors there repairing the main and we will have the service reinstated as soon as possible," he said.

Water should be restored between 12.30pm and 1pm.

"People may notice their water might be cloudy initially - this is due to air in the line and you can run your outside tap for a bit and it will clear," the council said in a post on its Facebook page.

"If by chance water is not back on your property by 2pm, please call us on 03 769 8611."
