Applications are open now for grants from our Community Fund
Thanks to their recent application we supported the members of Waipu Cove Surf Life Saving Club Inc to get qualified in first-aid.
Kath Manning, Waipu Cove Surf Live Saving Club Captain says "This is essential to the service we provide to the community during patrolling hours, as well as upskilling our emergency call out squad who offer a 24/7 response service to any aquatic or beach incident at Waipu Cove and surrounding area."
Proud to support this initiative! Your community group can also access this funding - view more and apply: www.wdc.govt.nz...
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
