Queen Elizabeth Planting Days! #LeafYourLegacy

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

We are taking care of the things that matter – but we can’t do it without your help!
You’re invited to #LeafYourLegacy and help us plant over 20,000 native plants in Queen Elizabeth Park this winter.

We have three planting events:
- 10 June at 10am-12:30pm, The Esplanade Carpark
- 8 July at 10am-12:30pm, MacKays crossing entrance
- 22 July at 10am-12:30pm, MacKays crossing entrance

Spades and gloves will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own. Remember to check the weather and dress appropriately so you don't freeze out there, to help you warm up afterwards enjoy a hot drink and biscuits on us.

For wet weather cancellations, please call 0800 496 734

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
