The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.
Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.
Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.
The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

The project team replacing the water pipe in Duncan Street needed to temporarily turn the water off to progress construction today.
Water was planned to be off between 10am - 2pm today, however the work is taking longer than planned, so water is expected to be on again at 4pm.
River-stone markers are the perfect way to identify your freshly planted seeds and seedlings, while adding a decorative touch to your vegetable garden.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys. You can also follow the conversation on Spotify and Stitcher. Let your friends know too!

We adopted Oscar (de-sexed, vaccinated, worm/flea treated) from an animal shelter because we needed a companion for our very playful kitten. Oscar stood out as he was very friendly and playful, as soon as we met him. He continues being extremely cuddly and smoochy with strangers, and is loved by every visitor we get.
He’s low maintenance in the sense he doesn’t meow much and is independent. Still, he seeks out a good cuddle for about an hour a day, purrs loudly when you pat him and joins you in bed sometimes. He takes a while to settle, but has been known to sleep in our arms!
The shelter told us he was 3 months old, so now he should be about 7 months but we're not so sure since he's not very playful. We still have to spend hours playing with our other kitten to make up for his docility. We’ve not needed to see a vet with him and he looks healthy (been raised on Hills and Royal Canin diet).
It took a lot of research and problem-solving before we decided to surrender Osky. We love him and it breaks our hearts that he doesn’t fit in with our family, and we're not allowed to keep more than 2 pets.
Oscar does play with his humans, usually when he sees us playing with the other cat and doesn’t want to be left out. He likes to dominate our other cat, and may play too rough as she often hisses, growls and we found some small wounds. We think he would be best as a solo cat.
While he uses the litter perfectly, we think Oscar spent his early days outdoors, as he’s confused about common domestic cat behaviours. He has a tendency to scratch carpets and sofas, which we mitigated by building him a tall sturdy tree-post that can be yours for free with his adoption. Oscar would be very suitable for a busy person/family who can let him roam outside.
He vomits on occasion – we think he may be eating too fast when our other cat is around. We’re looking at making a food dispenser that he has to work at so he can slow down. A commercial one could solve the problem as well. The shelter we got him from had him returned before, without knowing why, so we are fearful to give him back.
We feel much more comfortable knowing he went to a loving home who knows about his idiosyncrasies but for whom he’s a good fit.
If you'd like to offer Oscar a suitable, loving forever home please contact:
