Thanks to everyone who came along to Business After Five yesterday 🕰🕰 We had a packed out audience to hear from hosts, Katikati Community Led Development about the proposed upgrades to the Katikati Skate Park. 🛹🛹 The group have a youth focus and have been engaging with youth extensively to find out what they need in Katikati - and (apart from KFC or McDonalds!) they wanted a safe space, outdoors where they could play and get together. They also wanted somewhere for their families to sit, eat and play as well - and upgrades to the current skatepark (a BBQ area, seating, playground equipment) will bring this to fruition.
If you'd like to be part of making this happen head to https://www.katikaticld.nz/youth-park-sponsorship for ways to contribute.

✨ Pōhutukawa – the star of remembrance.

She connects us to those who have passed, guiding their spirits across the night sky.

As we look to Matariki, we take a moment to reflect, honour, and remember those no longer with us.

A time to pause. A time to feel. A time to remember.
