The Council’s guide to reducing waste has landed in Think Papanui’s letterbox.

In 2019 the Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board distributed $4,000 in ‘Summer with your neighbours’ funding to support over forty local events. Summer with your neighbours is back for 2020, and applications are now open until 6 September. This initiative started out as Neighbourhood Week by the then Shirley-Papanui Community Board in 1998 and has grown to be city-wide and extended through the whole summer.
