ROAD TRIP coming to Whangarei WHANGAREI – November 25 – Workshop 5.15-6.45pm New Zealand Red Cross Service Centre 59a Bank Street

Kristi Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

Who is going?

Road Trip! Cissy and Sam, are hitting the road in the lead up to our 10th celebration of Neighbours Day Aotearoa.

Neighbours Day Aotearoa is fast approaching and Sam and Cissy are gearing up to hit the road again!

As many of you know, last year we travelled the length of the country, connecting with as many of you as possible. And once again, in just over a month we will be coming to a town near you! Starting on October 29th on the north island’s west coast, we will be driving Aotearoa and stopping along the way to chat with locals about community, connection and neighbours.

Our interactive workshops are a chance to develop and refresh some of the skills we all need when working in communities. We explore ways to reach out and include all the different people that make up our communities. These workshops are ideal for neighbours, community leaders, organisations, anyone that wants to build more connection. We will all learn from each other in a fun and supportive environment.Leg Three: North North Island

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!
