Celebrate Play Week: 26 October to 1 November 2024

The Team from Whangarei District Council

“Our culture has become so busy and task-oriented that play has been pushed to the back and undervalued” says our play-advocate Melinda Butt.

So we're getting behind "play week", aimed at reintroducing the joy and value of play in our local environments.
