Reusable Produce Bags Fundraiser

Penny from Rural West Whangarei

Here is your sustainable solution to plastic produce bags!!

You probably already know that supermarkets are starting to phase out plastic bags for fruit, veges & general shopping - some Countdown supermarkets have apparently already stopped supplying plastic bags in their fruit & veg sections.

So this fundraiser is a timely solution to what to do with those apples & carrots that will be rolling loose in your trolley!

- Certified Organic Cotton designed to last many years
- 100% biodegradable
- My Vita Bags products are Fair Trade and ethically made
- Machine Washable & great for storing produce in your fridge
- Suitable for fruit, vegetables, seeds, grains, nuts etc

These reusable produce bags come in sets of 4 bags - 2 mesh & 2 muslin - a large (28 x 33cm) & a small (25 x 20cm) of each.

Only $12 per set.

You can use the link below to order online. Payment must be made to the school (internet banking details will be emailed to you when you submit your order) before the order closing date of 31st May. Orders will be available from 13th June.

There is a postal delivery option available for those not close enough to pickup from Matarau School - only $4 postage for up to 3 sets, $8 for 3+ sets

Online Order Link - bit.ly...

Please share this with family & friends so we can help the environment & raise some funds for Matarau School.

Thanks for your support!

What should the rules be for alcohol in public?

The Team from Whangarei District Council

We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw

The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.

In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.

We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).

We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!
