Hi neighbours - Webber & Burns Street Meetings Are Coming Soon! Get in touch for details.

There’s something special about knowing the people who live around you. A quick chat, a friendly wave, or knowing who to call when you need a hand can make a real difference in creating a connected and safer neighbourhood.

Whether you've lived on your street for years or have only recently moved in, we'd love to see you there. Bring the family, and come along for a relaxed catch-up with the people who call your street home.

If you'd like to attend a street meeting or find out if there's one happening in your area, get in touch with us and we'll point you in the right direction.

Strong neighbourhoods start with simple conversations. Let's get to know our neighbours.

Hi Neighbours - Daylight Saving is this Sunday 27 September 2026

When the clocks spring forward this weekend make that a reminder to check your smoke alarms are working and in the right places.

"Working smoke alarms give you the best chance to survive a fire," Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s Community Education Manager Tom Ronaldson says.

"When you are sleeping, you are unable to smell smoke. Working smoke alarms will wake you and allow you to get out and stay out."
"It is important you test your smoke alarms regularly and give them a clean with the vacuum cleaner or duster. To test smoke alarms, push the button and wait till you hear the beep.

Tom Ronaldson says while you are checking your smoke alarms this weekend, take a few minutes to talk to your household about your three-step escape plan.

It’s also a good time to check in on vulnerable whānau, friends or neighbours. People over sixty were the largest group represented in last year’s fatal fires.

Hi neighbours - Could your property be safer by design?

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is all about making simple changes to your property that can help reduce opportunities for crime and increase safety.

A few easy CPTED tips include: • Keep hedges and shrubs trimmed so doors and windows can be seen clearly. • Ensure entry points are well lit at night.

These and other changes can make a big difference in helping neighbours look out for one another and making homes less attractive to offenders.

To learn more about what you can do read the "Could your property be safer by design" article on our website blog.
