Here’s what you need to know:
◼️ Face coverings are legally required for everyone 12 years and older.
◼️ Standing isn't allowed on services. Staff won't allow people onto services if they don't believe space is available, so plan ahead and be patient with operators.
◼️ Check in as soon as you board the service.
◼️ Stay home if you're sick. Sitting directly next to someone is allowed. Be mindful that drivers may not stop to collect passengers if all seats are occupied. Dedicated school bus services are exempt from the no standing requirement.
To do our part, here's two phrases we believe everyone should know in Te Reo Māori.

The waiwaka tree, or swamp maire (Syzygium maire), was believed to have completely died off in Porirua until Andrew Jinks discovered a small group of them on his walk home through Rānui last year.
The native wetland tree grows throughout coastal and lowland swamps of the North Island and are important species to regenerate native wetland forests and to protect coastal areas from erosion, but are currently considered critically threatened.
Andrew was heading up Bromley View when a small gully of trees caught his eye. He noticed other natives such as totara and rimu in the gully and decided to take a closer look, spotting the waiwaka.
“It was actually the first time I had seen the tree in person but I knew it had distinctive pale and flaky bark, so I took a couple snaps and sent it to a local ecologist friend of mine to help classify it.” The last reported siting of the waiwaka growing in Porirua was over 100 years ago but Andrew and Porirua City Council will reintroduce the tree to our city’s harbour, parks, and surrounding forests.
Hundreds of seedlings have been grown at the city nursery, from the fruit of the small group of trees found by Andrew. These seedlings will begin to be replanted in the coming months in places like the Elsdon wetland and Hokorito Stream in Titahi Bay.
Andrew recalls when he first came to New Zealand in 1986 from Wales and the sight of pine trees and gorse covering the hills of Wellington. “We used to play the game ‘count the possums’ when we were driving on the highway,” he says, “and now I see native birds and plants, like the kohekohe, reclaiming their native habitat all around Porirua.” Situated at 106 Sievers Grove in eastern Porirua, the nursery offers a variety of plants at wholesale prices. Normally open to the public 12.30–3.30pm on weekdays, it is closed until 17 September.

Print apprentice Travis Jordan was named the Print Industry Apprentice of the Year, while Alex Huynh won the Workplace Trainer of the Year. For Travis, the award is an acknowledgement of the time and effort he has put into his craft.
“It’s really special and a reminder that you get out what you put in,” he says. “The award is something I’ll happily carry with me throughout my career.”
It's awesome to see not only one of our apprentices getting recognition, but also the skilled team member who trained him winning an award.

"The bird feeders are now bringing in a few more different varieties of small birds. Today a flock of greenfinches visited, and a sole yellowhammer! The yellowhammer (pictured right) was a real treat, as you know they are around as they are very tuneful, however they are difficult to see at times. Our kaka also visited at least twice today!"
