Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall to play with to learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands.
Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.
Anyone got any old child-friendly Xbox 360 games they no longer want? Looking for something appropriate for my nearly six-year-old nephew to play when he visits rather than GTA... 😬🤫😅

President Bill extended a very warm vote of thanks to Allan and Barbara (and their helpers) for organising and running the excellent evening to celebrate the running of the Melbourne Cup. The race was exciting although marred by the news that pre-race favourite, Anthony Van Dyck, had to be euthanised after tragically sustaining a fractured fetlock during the race.
Pictures often tell the story better than words, so here are a few moments captured during the evening. Apart from the drinking, chatting and watching, Allan did a wonderful job on the Chocolate Wheel.

Hey Neighbourly folk, Jerry Collins would have been 40 today. One of our greatest All Blacks, he was always fiercely proud of Porirua and the Northern United Rugby Football Club.
What is your favourite memory of Jerry?
This should not be too hard this week.
Where is this and why are they are marching?

He heads a group of five neighbours wanting to buy almost 6000 square metres of public land at Motukaraka Point, which has views over Pauatahanui Inlet and backs on to their properties.
The consortium values the property at $180,000 while the council has a valuation of $600,000.
A local real estate agent reckons it is worth over $1 million.

The section of Ōtaki Gorge Road known as Blue Bluff remains unstable and is likely to remain closed for the peak summer period.
As well as a camping ground, it is also a major entrance point for trampers and hunters accessing the Tararua Forest Park.
The slip, 12km in from SH1, is a major one. Kāpiti Coast District Council Access and Transport Manager Glen O’Connor says expert geotechnical advice is that further slipping could occur at any time, and may be extensive.
Engineers are waiting for the slip to move before deciding what the best long term solution is.
The Department of Conservation is working to find alternative public access to the huts and walks in the forest park and is expected to have options for trampers by summers.

The latest Trade Me Rental Price Index showed that prices rose 3 per cent around the country in the year to September, from $495 to $510.
But they went through the roof in the area covered by the Porirua City Council, from north of Tawa up to Paekakariki.
Trade Me figures showed the median rent in the city rose 25 per cent in the last year, from $500 to $625, making it the most expensive place to rent in the country.

Their climate change strategy ‘Rautaki o te ao Hurihuri’ has been developed in response to the declaration of a climate emergency by Porirua City Council on 26th June 2019. It lists actions that will be taken over the next 3-4 years.
These actions are intended to support mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and to prepare the city for the impacts of climate change.
The council is running a survey and wants to know what residents think about climate change.

It really offers a lot of hope for folks who might be looking at the property market and wondering what on earth is happening out there these days.
Courtney and Ben were tenacious and bold, and now they're living happily in their Hawke's Bay home.
Have a read and see how they did it, and while you're at it have a listen to our third episode of First Rung, the podcast for first home buyers for a little more inspiration.
