A little look behind the scenes...

New World

The Covid-19 pandemic has shown us all how quickly life can change. For many New Zealanders, this has meant job losses or significant pay cuts – and the family pantry suddenly empty.

For the past two months, there’s been a huge demand for food parcels from local charities around the country. Find out what we’ve been doing behind the scenes to support these charities who are helping New Zealanders get back on their feet.

(PS – we want to say a special ‘thank you’ to all of you who have made a donation at your local store. Your generous support is helping keep New Zealanders fed.)

Lovers Lane opens

The Team from Whangarei District Council

It's open! This morning we held a blessing for the new pathway, bridge and boardwalk in Lovers' Lane that connects the Kamo Shared Path with the Raumanga Shared Path.

You can access it from Cafler Park, Second Avenue, or between the Central Library and the council building, Te Iwitahi. The walking and cycling pathway includes a new paved area, Te Ara Hīkoi ki Kauika (the pathway to Kauika), a replaced bridge over the Waiarohia Stream, and a new boardwalk in Cafler Park.

The design is by Littoralis, Hawthorn Geddes and Boffa Miskell, connecting to the natural environment and local history. The high quality of construction was by local contractors including Canam, Robinson Asphalts, Culham Engineering, Northland Metal Industries (NMI), Ezra Bell, BDX Engineering and more.
