Free Tree

Tauranga City Council

🌲 We’re celebrating Arbor Day this week by launching Free Tree Day 🌳

We have lots of native trees like Pōhutukawa, large-leaved Kōwhai, Tōtara, and Kōhūhū to giveaway as we look to increase the city’s tree canopy coverage.

Free native tree? Yeah, I’m in:

👉Be at Mercury Baypark on Sunday, 9 June between 9am – 1pm
👉 One tree per household on a first come, first served basis
👉No trailers necessary as a tree will fit in a car
👉 Fuel up at the coffee cart while you’re there
👉Contribute to increasing Tauranga tree canopy coverage from 22% to 30% or more.

We have 1900 trees to giveaway so share with your friends and whānau and let’s improve our urban greenery and biodiversity together.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
