Prince of Wales/Omāroro Reservoir Meeting
We are currently progressing with the detailed design of the Omāroro Reservoir, and as part of this there are some design aspects that we would like to discuss with the community.
We will be holding a meeting on Thursday 14 March from 6pm – 7.30pm in the Executive Suite, Massey University, Wallace Street.
We are keen for your feedback on:
• The design treatment of the entry to the pipe tunnel which will be visible from the upper field and top of Rolleston Street
• The final layout of Rolleston Street
• Some of the walking paths that currently traverse the site
Keep up to date with this project on our website.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
