Mount Cook Earthquake Drill
When: Saturday 18 April, 2:00pm-3:30pm;
Where: Mount Cook School, 160 Tory Street, Mount Cook. Imagine that a large earthquake has struck the Wellington region. You've just made it home and checked on your family and neighbours. What do you do next?
We are opening up the Community Emergency Hub at Mt Cook School, where you can come along and...
- Learn about how your community can respond to the challenges of an emergency,
- Get to know your community emergency hub,
- Practice how it might pan out during a major event AND
- Meet your neighbours who will be a huge support when you need it most.
Everyone is welcome to join us from 2pm in the school hall. Refreshments provided. For more information email Ana (ana.faatoia@wremo.nz) or reserve your spot at the link below.
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
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.
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?
