Telling the stories of some of the veterans at rest in Porirua Cemetery has become a lot easier.
Last month the council completed the installation of 16 QRS codes on distinctive red posts in the cemetery, off Kenepuru Dr. Visitors can scan the codes with their smartphone and it takes the user to the council cemeteries website, where they can read a little more about the person buried in that gravesite.
On the council website there is also the option to go to the Porirua War Stories website, run by historian Allan Dodson, which has more comprehensive profiles on each of the veterans.

No 'mates rate' deal for Porirua land deal

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Porirua City Council has rejected the claims of a group of landowners, including Greater Wellington Regional councillor Chris Kirk-Burnnand, who felt they should have first dibs on the 6000 square metre property at Motukaraka Point, near Pauatahanui Inlet, for just $180,000.

Porirua City Council has rejected the claims of a group of landowners, including Greater Wellington Regional councillor Chris Kirk-Burnnand, who felt they should have first dibs on the 6000 square metre property at Motukaraka Point, near Pauatahanui Inlet, for just $180,000.
Kirk-Burnnand and five other neighbours believed that was fair market value for a slice of land deemed rural, which they wanted to carve up between the property owners and add to their existing titles.
They called in the lawyers when it became clear the council was considering selling the land on the open market, with its own valuer appraising the land at $600,000.

Watering Restrictions

The Team from Wellington Water

At the moment we are at watering restriction level 1: routine odds/evens garden watering restrictions. This means we have enough water for residents based on current demand, BUT we need to look after the storage reserves we have, so there is enough water to last all summer.

At the moment we are at watering restriction level 1: routine odds/evens garden watering restrictions. This means we have enough water for residents based on current demand, BUT we need to look after the storage reserves we have, so there is enough water to last all summer.

With increased demand, and hot, dry weather- things could quickly change.

Garden watering restrictions help smooth out peak demands on the network during daylight savings.

So, what can I do to help limit demand? ?
- use mulch in the garden to help lock in water ✅
- use a trigger hose to water plants ?
- soak don't sprinkle - a good soaking twice a week will encourage feeder roots to grow down ?

Know the garden watering restrictions in your area ???

Fraud Awareness Week

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

This Fraud Awareness Week we are encouraging Kiwis to take a moment to stop and think ‘is this for real?’ when contacted unexpectedly and asked for personal info.

New Zealand Police's Financial Intelligence Unit estimates New Zealanders lose $20-30 million annually to scams.

HOW TO AVOID A SCAM:

+ A genuine bank or organisation will never contact you to ask for your PIN, password or to move money to another account.

+ Never click on a link in an unexpected email or text – you could be giving access to your personal and financial details.

+ Always question uninvited approaches in case it is a scam. Instead, contact the company directly using a known email or phone number.

+ Don’t assume an email or phone call is authentic – just because someone knows your basic details (name and address, or mother’s maiden name) it doesn’t mean they are genuine.

+ Don’t be rushed into making a decision or financial transaction on the spot – a genuine bank or trusted organisation would never do this.

+ Listen to your instincts – if something feels wrong then it generally is.

If you believe you are the victim of a scam you can contact Police and report the matter via 105.

It is official, Porirua has lost its missing former mayor.
Tradition dictates the city honours its mayors at the end of their term with a painted portrait for the council chambers. Missing from the illustrious oil on canvas line-up is Mike Tana.
The city council has tried to contact Tana, who was mayor from 2016 to 2019, without success.
The end of his term was marred by controversy when the council chief executive Wendy Walker contacted police over the suspected inappropriate use of Tana’s petrol card. The action sparked an expensive investigation.
