Run-down Invercargill council building still awaiting repairs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One fifth of the $21 million set aside to fix issues at Invercargill City Council’s ageing headquarters has been spent, despite no repair work being carried out. Te Hīnaki Civic Building on Invercargill’s Esk St underwent a mass exodus of 167 staff last year due to the state of the building, with just 80 remaining. Council group manager Patricia Christie said Te Hīnaki was several decades old, needed a lot of work to bring it up to modern standards, and was “no longer fit for purpose”. But while

The public was excluded from
Invercargill council boycotts companies connected to Israeli occupation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Invercargill City Council has voted to boycott companies connected to illegal Israeli settlements, despite the mayor’s push for the status quo. The decision has been 15 months in the making and follows a narrow vote against enacting change in June 2025, and a 270-signature petition from Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa last month.
