"I came into SPCA with a damaged eye, and the wonderful vet team couldn't save it, so I had an operation to have it removed. It hasn't slowed me down at all, you just have to be aware that I can’t see you approaching me so please don't startle me.

I would love to be a single indoor bunny where I get all the human attention. I am a clean boy and will go into my large litter tray for toileting. I love gentle pats on my head and sometimes come up to you for treats. I regularly binkie around super fast, and when I'm tired I do bunny flops as I am a happy boy.
I love space and the outdoors so I will need a large grassy area with a weatherproof hutch for outside during the day. My indoor area must be big enough for me to spend the day and night comfortably. My caregivers ask that rabbits always come inside at night, to be part of the family and to keep me safe. I could go to a home with friendly cats as I've met some before."

After years of consultation, legal manoeuvres, failed fundraising attempts and an avalanche of public conjecture, the council finally succeeded in getting approval to demolish the theatre which has been a focal point in the bay since 1943.
With demolition looming – likely to be by year’s end – a heritage consultant will be brought in to assess any features that could be preserved, which could include the ceiling trusses.
The Porirua City Council is asking for the public's input into what the commemorative park, set to replace the soon-to-be demolished US Marines Hall in TÄ«tahi Bay, should include.

The crash happened at 11.30pm on Sunday on Warspite Ave, in eastern Porirua, a police spokeswoman said. Two people who were in the car had died.
Niraj Prasad and his daughters were just heading off to bed on Sunday night when the car crashed into the side of their lounge, where they had been sitting.
“I thought it was a big earthquake. The house shook and there was glass on the ground,” Prasad said.

Many of these cats I believe are lost loved family members awaiting to trap & chip check, some witnessed dumped, many pedigree cats dumped after used for money making litters, some have just followed their noses to food source that's soon to no longer be provided for them :( pest control … View moreMany of these cats I believe are lost loved family members awaiting to trap & chip check, some witnessed dumped, many pedigree cats dumped after used for money making litters, some have just followed their noses to food source that's soon to no longer be provided for them :( pest control have been spoke with to 'get rid of them all' this would not allow any reuniting, let alone a devastating end to the struggle they have already all had. Each cat is going to average a cost of $300 each, could well be alot more for some that may be sick or have injuries. I have 15 of these cats & kittens already in the short time since I was alerted to them. Please help enable us to get the lot b4 it's to late, every dollar counts more than you'd realise, thankyou :)

"When I was young I didn’t like the boatsheds. To my eye they looked derelict and unkempt – a hotchpotch of too bright clashing colours, and all of them peeling to reveal bleached wood underneath. They reminded me of my Nana’s crocheted rugs with frayed threads and darned patches. I liked things shining, new, and squared away. Anything else smacked of some sort of failure, either of duty or poverty.
Now that I’m older, and not untouched by time myself, I realise that decay is inevitable, and, more importantly, there is texture and beauty in it. The sea, like life, can be a rough place. The winds carry salt and sand, storm surges leave marks and baggage piled around the high tide mark, sometimes spilling over onto the little docks. But in this flotsam, rotting seaweed, silt, and tangled tree branches are a million little bugs, fish, and crabs – a roiling primordial soup seasoned with iodine and salt and feasted on by the birds. Nothing is lost - just transformed. Sacred kingfisher/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) catching the light at the Hutt Estuary boatsheds, Hikoikoi Reserve, Lower Hutt."

Porirua Mayor Anita Baker welcomed the improvements designed to help manage the traffic growth anticipated from the opening of Transmission Gully and from other developments in the area.
"These initiatives will make it easier and safer for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists to access businesses, Kenepuru Landing, Summerset Retirement Village, Bishop Viard College and the city centre," she said.
A drop-in session will be held on Thursday 15 July between 5pm - 7pm, at the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 16 Kenepuru Drive. The main projects up for discussion are:
* Kenepuru Drive new intersections with Lyttelton Ave and Lower Main Drive
* Lower Main Drive to Ferry Place footpath (including the Lyttelton Ave/Walton Leigh Ave intersection upgrade)
At the Graeme Dingle Foundation we empower tamariki and rangatahi to overcome life's obstacles. Our programmes build resilience and open young eyes to new possibilities.
