Is it a favourite park or walking track? The library? Do you have a really fun festival that your community is known for? Tells us about it!

  • My town is so well situated - we’re a short distance from beaches, mountains, forests, the whole lot. We had a significant quake ten or so years ago and the rebuild has meant so many new opportunities - for cycling infrastructure, for arts communities, for social infrastructure. We’ve got a new central library that is gorgeous, and has so many great facilities - sewing machines, laser cutters, 3d printers, a little recording studio, the lot!

      • That’s the one! We’ve got at least two libraries with fully fitted maker spaces, it’s so neat.

        I lived in Tāmaki for 10 years or so and there’s a few things I miss (the food!) but Ōtautahi is so affordable, so well situated, and SO flat for cycling!
