Work for the disabled Northland

Glen from Central Whangarei

I was hoping to be able to bring my wheelchair to the Orchard tomorrow 6th May I want to get the hot desking underway I have major disabilities so may need some help and some flexibility from the Orchard.
Just to refresh I run a business Website Design Whangarei. I do not get enough work. I have airway and voice issues so may be puffed and not speak well when answering the phone at home, this makes it hard to get customers.
I am hoping hot-desking at the Orchard and the chance to market with like minded people will give me the opportunity to progress.

I am doing the pick at the Orchard 8 weeks in I have not missed a class. I am putting in the effort.

I am very involved at community level currently Chairman of DPA Northland and Co-Chair of WDC disability advisory group.

Also looking forward to seeing what's happening in The Strand in the CBD with CTN

What should the rules be for alcohol in public?

The Team from Whangarei District Council

We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw

The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.

In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.

We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).

We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!
