What a mean vibe at the Night Markets in May! 🙌🏽 Awesome to see our community coming together, enjoying the great food, culture, and seeing whānau out and about supporting one another. Huge mihi to the organisers and everyone working hard behind the scenes to make it all happen.

New stories, fresh news from our locals!

The Auckland Anniversary floods of 2023 had a profound and lasting impact on Mt Roskill, Puketāpapa. Homes were damaged, families were displaced, and many residents faced sudden and significant hardship.

Residents of Mt Roskill experienced severe flooding that caused structural damage to homes, loss of personal belongings, and emotional distress. Many families were forced to evacuate with little notice. The event exposed gaps in emergency preparedness and highlighted the vulnerability of certain households within our community.

We captured the stories of some of the residents who were affected, as well as the organisations that stood as pillars of support from the moment the disaster struck.

From this work, a new collective emerged: Rōpū Leadership Wesley Puketāpapa, a group formed to strengthen community leadership, resilience, and connection in the wake of the floods, committed to strengthening resilience and preparedness across Wesley and the wider Puketāpapa area.

We were blessed to be at the Puketāpapa Christmas Carnival to capture the event. What an amazing day it was!
Seeing families come through, watching everyone enjoy the performances from our local schools, local talents, the food, entertainment, and the bouncy castles was truly special.
A massive thank you to all the organisations that helped make this event happen. We appreciate you all. 🙌🏽🎄
