Whangarei civic building: partnership with NorthTec

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Do you know any local apprentices or trainees who are going to get excited about this?

A partnership with NorthTec means that at least 10% of the workforce on the new civic building will be local apprentices or trainees – a minimum of 1 worker in every 10 onsite.

Hands-on experience in a fast-growing industry for our local apprentices and trainees, opening more pathways to employment right here in Whangārei.

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
