Testing a new service
Hi everyone
I'm a Service Designer with the Department of Internal Affairs. We are working on how to make it easier for parents to prove information about themselves and their children when applying for services.
We’re looking for people who have had a baby in New Zealand in the last 10 years (ideally in the last two years). We will show you some of our ideas and we want you to give us your thoughts about those ideas and any ideas you have.
We will call via phone/Zoom/WhatsApp or Messenger and show you some pictures so it’s important you have good internet access.
When: Wednesday 13th or Thursday 14th , May 2020
Time: Sometime between 9am and 8pm. The session will take up to 1 hour.
In appreciation for your time you will be given a $50 shopping voucher.
If you're interested you can email me on shane.ngan@dia.govt.nz
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
