Our residents are not shy or retiring. They live their lives with passion and purpose. They strive to push further, create better, and go beyond the ordinary. We are pioneering a new way to live in retirement. One with flexibility, certainty, and the ability to dial care up and down as you need it.… View moreOur residents are not shy or retiring. They live their lives with passion and purpose. They strive to push further, create better, and go beyond the ordinary. We are pioneering a new way to live in retirement. One with flexibility, certainty, and the ability to dial care up and down as you need it.

Ryman has been pioneering retirement living for 35 years. Our New Zealand and Australian villages are named after trailblazers: Sir Edmund Hilary, Weary Dunlop, Rita Angus, Nellie Melba. We always have, and always will, challenge the status quo and adapt to better serve our residents.

Our waterways and all the fish and species that live in them are precious taonga, so we have set out to understand how they are valued and what should be done to provide the future we want for our water.

I have had the opportunity to work with some of you through my involvement with Forest & Bird Upper Hutt. I also chair the local group – Friends of the Hutt River. I am passionate about the health of our waterways that should be safe for people to enjoy and would like to see a thriving natural ecology in our waterways.
This job isn’t easy. We need to find solutions to fix our waste and stormwater networks. These are big changes, and needs to reflect our communities’ views informed by good evidence and information.

Connect with us to talk about what we can do together. You can reach us at whaitua@gw.govt.nz. To see what we have been doing visit our Facebook page, and to share what you value about our water and your solutions have your say by following the link below.

How’s my bus network?

Community Engagement Advisor from

Summer holidays are over, so it’s back to business as usual in Wellington. To keep you informed with what’s happening across the city, here’s an update on the major roadwork projects happening around the city that might mean your bus of choice across all routes is taking longer to get to you.… View moreSummer holidays are over, so it’s back to business as usual in Wellington. To keep you informed with what’s happening across the city, here’s an update on the major roadwork projects happening around the city that might mean your bus of choice across all routes is taking longer to get to you.

Brandon Street earthquake strengthening: There are multiple buildings along both sides of Brandon Street, between Featherston Street and Customhouse Quay currently undergoing renovations/earthquake strengthening. The road has been closed to ensure public safety and is due to re-open sometime in April 2020.

Wallace Street Omaroro Reservoir Pipelines Project - 5 Jan 2020 to Mid-2020: The Wright Street diversion is now 6 weeks into the construction of a new reservoir beneath Wallace Street. Routes 3, 18e, 27, 718, 726 and 770 are continuing to be diverted via Wright Street which will continue until the project has been completed in mid-2020.

Willis Street Wastewater Project - 20 December to end of March 2020

With the Willis Street wastewater project underway we would like to remind you that Routes 7, 17, 17e, 25, 29 and 29e will continue to be diverted northbound towards Lambton Quay via Ghuznee Street to Taranaki Street to Manners Street until work on the permanent installation of new pipes under Willis Street is completed at the end of March 2020.

We would like to thank Wellington City Council for working with us as we keep you informed about these roadwork projects, and you our customers for your patience as our Metlink buses continue to work hard to get you where you need to be whilst these diversions are in place.

Missing cat Tuesday 4.30am

Hayley from Birchville

UPDATE
12/02. He had crawled home and got into his bed at some point during the night. Brought in at 4.30.
Scratches, bruises and sunburn. Looks like he was chased under a thorn bush and got stuck. Little banged up but just fine!
Thanks for all of the support 😁☺️

My inside cat managed to bolt out the door this morning at about 4.30 in Gemstone Drive. He’s never been outside alone without a lead. Probably hanging around the Chrystal Grove area.
His name is Madini and he’s a Sphynx. He’s my everything so please keep an eye out and call 02102359344.
He doesn’t wear a collar because it irritates his skin. He’s not chipped because he doesn’t go outside (he will be after this).
Thanks.

Why should you purchase your vitamins from Lagan’s?
Lagan’s is one of the few pharmacies in New Zealand that have an integrative pharmacist, Raewyn, who is a qualified natural health practitioner.
The benefit to you of having this kind of knowledge when wanting a more natural or holistic treatment enables you to get the best help when it comes to your own needs.

When purchasing your natural medicines at Lagan’s we can guide you to the most effective solutions for you that, most importantly, help improve the underlying issue you have and not just treat the symptoms. We ensure you get the correct product and dose that is safe for you. We check interactions with any prescribed medications you are taking and your medical conditions.

In our consultations we often hear customers say they have wasted money on products they have purchased elsewhere that didn’t help them and so often these products make no sense to us for the customer’s condition. The best marketing or the lowest price of a product does not always mean the best value for you and your needs. We have a quality range of products including practitioner only supplements.

In our Wellness Clinic you can also book an appointment with Raewyn, in one of our private consult rooms, where she can assess your condition and put a bespoke package together for you based on your personal needs and can discuss the evidence based science with you.
