"Kaka, were essentially extinct here in Wellington for over 100 years. Then in 2002 a small group was translocated to our fenced sanctuary Zealandia. Now Kaka fly freely around the CBD. There are approximately 1000 birds now, each with its own personality.
They now also breed outside of Zealandia, and are seen throughout the city. These clever parrots are such entertainers, and are a photographers dream.?

Previously unemployed and struggling with anxiety, Jack found a new path after joining the Toroa Career Navigator programme run by Graeme Dingle Foundation Marlborough.

Through the programme, he discovered his passion for the viticulture industry and was able to secure a cadetship opportunity with the help of his mentors and programme coordinator.

Now, almost six months into his job, he feels more confident and is grateful for the support he has received. Jack encourages other young people if given the opportunity to take the course and give things a go.

The Tyre Clinic provides fantastic services

FANTASTIC SERVICE. The total price was v competitive and the service was excellent. Jason took the time to understand my driving patterns and recommend a mid-price tyre that would be best value over the life of the tyre. They also provide FREE 2-monthly checks with tyre pressure and wheel rotations. This lengthens tyre life and safety - and further increases value for money. And they are lovely to deal with.

I used to be a loyal customer at Tony's but have found that, since they changed ownership, the service has gone down and total price has possibly gone up. Quoted price might be lower but some firms push services like alignments when they aren't necessary.

Give them a call on 04 2321133, or jason@thetyreclinic.co.nz

Recycling at the Tawa Community Centre

Community Centre Advocate from Tawa Community Centre

Small metal and plastic recycling: Did you know that bottle caps and jar lids are not recyclable through your kerbside recycling? This isn't because they aren't recyclable, it's because they are too small for the machinery.

We are now collecting small metal and plastic lids here at the community centre to take to the Sustainability Trust in town for recycling.

We accept clean, dry, and separated:

 plastics labelled 2 (e.g. milk bottle tops)

 plastics labelled 5 (e.g. yoghurt pot lids)

 metal (e.g. metal jar lids and beer bottle tops)

We can't recycle:

 any other small plastic items e.g. food pouch lids, dip lids, coffee cup lids

 lids with a thermal seal inside (this often looks like a blue or white layer inside the lid)

 waxy paper inserts (please remove if you can, we can still recycle the lid)

For more information, check out the Sustainability Trust's website: sustaintrust.org.nz...

A reminder too that we also recycle batteries here at the centre!
