Apparently we’re not the only ones wondering where spring has gone…

These two decided to take matters into their own hooves and set off to find it.

Unfortunately, they headed north, found snow instead and quickly turned around. Clearly, the grass really is greener in Southland.

If you recognise these two woolly wanderers, please get in touch on 03 211 1777 so we can send them baaack home 🐑

A huge congratulations to William (Bill) Donaldson, who received his King's Service Medal for services to the construction industry and cricket.

Bill has demonstrated a spirit of community and generosity over many years, with his leadership and advocacy making a lasting contribution to Southland and communities throughout New Zealand.

Today, Mayor Tom Campbell, who has been delegated the authority by King Charles III, presented Bill with his medal at the Civic Theatre.

As the founder and Managing Director of Donaldson Construction Services, Bill has played a significant role in Southland’s construction industry. He has led major public, commercial and civic developments across the region, including the Southland Hospital redevelopment, the restoration of St Mary’s Basilica and projects at the Southern Institute of Technology.

He has also shown a strong commitment to construction health and safety and has been involved with Southland cricket for more than 50 years through governance, administration and as a former player.

Council is honoured to host today's ceremony and is flying our Coat of Arms Flag to mark the occasion.

Congratulations, Bill, on this well-deserved recognition.

We’re proposing to expand smokefree and vapefree areas to include Council car parks, bus stops, public toilets, and footpaths outside schools and early childhood centres.

We also want to make it clearer that all of our smokefree areas are vapefree too.

Have we got it right? Is there anything we’ve missed?

Have your say: https://letstalk.icc.govt.nz/smokefree-vapefree-policy-2026

Submissions close at 5pm on Friday, 9 October.

Please stay away from the Estuary Boardwalk.

We have very high water levels around the boardwalk, making it unsafe to access at the moment.

Our team will assess the walkway once the water has receded.
