At the final Eastbourne community Board meeting last night (22/10/2024) we had the pleasure of hosting the 2024 Eastbourne Awards recipients. These are individuals or organisations from Eastbourne who have had noteworthy achievements in the current year or have made a significant contribution to Eastbourne over a period of years. The Community Board chooses recipients of the Awards, and there is no formal process of nomination. Awards will be for the current year or a specified period, thus, repeat awards are also possible. You can click through to read the citations and find out what rich contributions these recipients have made to our community andRead More →

Water Restriction Level 1 Use sprinklers every second day If you live in an even numbered house, you can use sprinklers or irrigation systems on even numbered days between 6-8am and 7-9pm. If you live in an odd numbered house, the same rules apply for odd numbered days. This helps limit water evaporating in the heat of the day, spreads the load of daily water demand, and helps manage daily supply levels. You can use handheld watering devices any time, on any day, so long as you don’t leave them unattended. Water restriction Level 1 applies all year round for Upper Hutt and South Wairarapa.Read More →
