Established Welcoming Community

Communications from Tauranga City Council

We’re excited to announce that alongside Western Bay of Plenty District Council we have been accredited as an Established Welcoming Community – a status that acknowledges the efforts of both councils and our communities to welcome newcomers and create an inclusive environment for all ethnicities.

“We can all take pride in that and do our part to ensure that we make newcomers, wherever they are from, feel valued, safe and at home.” – Mayor Tenby Powell

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
