Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday July 4th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

On Thursday the 4th July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the comedy from Argentina, Let the dance begin.

Our 8pm screening is the hilarious British comedy/mystery starring Olivia Coleman, Wicked Little Letters.

LET THE DANCE BEGIN
Argentina (Subtitles), 2023, 99 mins Comedy/Drama, R13 (Offensive language)
Cast: Santiago Caranza, Darío Grandinetti, Jorge Marrale.

Some 30 years ago, Carlos and Margarita were the most famous tango couple in the world.

Carlos is now retired and has moved to Spain, while Margarita remains in her home in Buenos Aires, immersed in a life of solitude.

A major event compels the couple to reunite and begin a journey across Argentina with their long-time friend Pichuquito. It's a road-trip which will see the three of them relive memories, reveal long held secrets and their true desires.

A gem of a film. The music and the scenery provide the foundations in equal measure and the actors are delightful. - IMDB

Have your say on Annual Plan 2025-26 and Local Water Done Well

The Team from Whangarei District Council

We've just launched two major consultations: Annual Plan 2025-26 and Local Water Done Well. Find them both here:
www.wdc.govt.nz...

Annual Plan 2025-26 sets out all the planning, projects, rates, and spending for the coming year. It is in line with our Long Term Plan (LTP) focus on infrastructure, planning with growth in mind, and making sure income covers costs. We are seeking feedback on 3 topics about rates.

Local Water Done Well (LWDW) is about how water infrastructure and services are managed. We're proposing two options: an "in-house business unit", or teaming up with neighbouring Councils for a Northland Council Controlled Organisation (CCO). Our preferred option is the in-house business unit.

Consultation on both topics is open until 5:00pm on Friday 2 May 2025. A series of 3 "drop in session" events begins on Thursday 8 April 2025 in Ruakākā (details are on the Have Your Say pages).
