The Covid-19 pandemic has shown us all how quickly life can change. For many New Zealanders, this has meant job losses or significant pay cuts – and the family pantry suddenly empty.

For the past two months, there’s been a huge demand for food parcels from local charities around the country. Find out what we’ve been doing behind the scenes to support these charities who are helping New Zealanders get back on their feet.

(PS – we want to say a special ‘thank you’ to all of you who have made a donation at your local store. Your generous support is helping keep New Zealanders fed.)

Know the signs of a stroke

Stroke Foundation

During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.

One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.

One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

F - Face - Is it drooping on one side?
A - Arm - Is one arm weak?
S - Speech - Is it mixed up, slurred or lost?
T - Take Action - Call 111 immediately.

Think F.A.S.T., act fast, and keep looking out for each other.

Thank you, from the Stroke Foundation of New Zealand.

Send a Level 3 Love Letter to someone you miss

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighhours,

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.

But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.

While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.

Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?

Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.

You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

Annual plan hearings have been placed on hold while we consider revising the plan and re-consulting with our community.

The official consultation period ended on Sunday with 285 written submissions and 72 requests to speak with councillors during hearings that were originally scheduled for 13-15 May.

These hearings, and later deliberations scheduled for 2-4 June, have now been placed on hold.

If we do consult again, people who have already submitted will be able to retain, revise or retract their submissions. People who have asked to be heard will be advised of new hearing dates when they have been finalised.

Mauao closure

Communications from Tauranga City Council

Yes, Mauao is still closed and here's why

Unfortunately, due to the narrowness of parts of the tracks, a safe physical distance of 2m can't be kept.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️
Why don't we make it one way?
Working with the Mauao Trust we looked into this instead of closing it, but unfortunately it was not feasible given people's varying physical abilities.

Some people will still want to run while others may want to keep a more leisurely pace, and despite people's best efforts, maintaining a safe distance while passing isn't possible.

😡Other tracks are open though!😡
The main difference between Mauao and some of the other tracks that are open is volume. Truthfully, the other tracks just don't see the volume of people Mauao does.

When will it reopen?
Working with the Mauao Trust, we will look to open it as soon as it is safe to do so.

This time is allowing Mauao to take a break and replenish. Please be respectful of the closure and the measures in place for your safety.

Transfer stations

Communications from Tauranga City Council

We appreciate the reaction from some of you to transfer stations remaining closed at level 3 and possibly level 2. And equally, the questions raised about recycling going to landfill. There are good reasons for this, but it’s a longish story. So if you’re interested – have a read of this.
