New Zealanders are being warned to make sure they're immunised against measles if they're travelling off shore with active outbreaks in a number of countries and a rising number of cases here. Four local measles cases have been connected to the Bluebridge ferry sailing from Picton to Wellington on October the third. Health authorities have contacted about 350 passengers from the sailing to give them health advice. Cases have been identified in Northland, Auckland, Manawatu and Nelson. Health New Zealand public health medicine specialist Dr Matthew Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

There's growing worries measles is spreading undetected through the country. Three new cases in Manawatu and Nelson were announced yesterday, bringing the total of current infections to four. Health New Zealand hasn't been able to confirm how each became infected - and is warning of a potential national outbreak. Immunisation Advisory Centre medical director, Dr Nikki Turner, says four cases might not sound scary - but measles is highly infectious. "If we don't know it came from travel - then where did it come from? We do not want this bug spreading through our communities." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No support and a lot of stress. That's how some clients of K9 Search Medical Detection feel after getting disability assistance dogs from the Manawatu trainer.

Officials are investigating complaints about dogs certified by a Manawatu disability assistance dog trainer that's had its accreditation removed. K9 Search Medical Detection was dropped from the list of organisations allowed to train such assistance dogs, which have access rights to public places under the Dog Control Act, on 20 December last year. The dogs can support people with physical disabilities or medical conditions, and have the right to enter spaces such as schools, hospitals, public transport and shops.

There's still a state of emergency in Christchurch and many properties across Wellington, Wairarapa and Manawatu are still without power following the week's wild weather.

A long-awaited new road over the lower slopes of the Ruahine Range is potentially just weeks away from opening, and locals can't wait.

In the fast-paced world of property management, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by daily challenges. Whether it's dealing with difficult tenants, navigating market fluctuations, or managing an unexpected maintenance crisis, the hurdles can seem endless.Here's a crucial truth: success often lies not in controlling every situation, but in how we react to those situations. As property managers and business owners, taking ownership of our choices becomes a vital practice. It's about letting go of the burdens we can't change and focusing on what's within our control. This shift is essential not only for the success of your business but also for your overall well-being.In this episode, I chat with Amanda Wiapo, the Director and Property Manager at Homely Property Management in New Zealand. She shares her extensive experience in managing properties across Marlborough, Auckland, and the Manawatu region. Amanda discusses the power of choice and reaction in day-to-day property management, emphasising the importance of mindset, decision-making, and accepting what cannot be controlled.Amanda's journey, including her personal challenges, has shaped her into an exceptional property manager. She provides strategies for navigating the complexities of the profession:“As long as you are controlling the communication, and setting those expectations with everyone, and being honest to every party, you have done your job. So you should be able to walk out at the end of the day, and go, ‘I've done everything I can, and putting that aside now, it's not going to affect the rest of my day, it's not going to affect my sleep. I've done my job.'” — Amanda WiapoWe explore:Current market trends, including rent reductions and shifts in tenant behaviourAffordability challenges and market dynamics compared between New Zealand and AustraliaHandling awkward conversations with tenants and strategies for setting expectations with rental pricing and communicating price reductions effectivelyThe importance of consistent updates and maintaining transparency with property ownersWhy being proactive and honest in communication builds trust and prevents issuesHow to avoid carrying unnecessary emotional burdens from work challenges and the importance of taking a moment to process before reacting in difficult situationsUsing legislation as a guide for resolving conflicts between owners and tenantsApproaching high-conflict situations with empathy, a plan, and face-to-face communicationWhy every challenge in property management has a solution, and how to stay solution-focusedConnect with Amanda Wiapohttps://homely.nz/about/amanda-wiapo/https://homely.nz/https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-wiapo-553254123/https://www.instagram.com/amandawiapo_nzpropertymanager/https://www.facebook.com/amanda.snowdon1 Kylie's ResourcesLead Generation Offer: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/2-weeks-trial-lead-generationProperty Management Growth School:...

Palmerston North reporter Jimmy Ellingham joins Kathryn with the latest events and issues in the area.

The Tararua District mayor has offered a "heart felt personal apology" for a botch up that's left some rate payers owing thousands of dollars that the coouncil must collect. A mistake calculating direct debit payments for rates, that dates back to 2018, means more than 320 households have been under charged and 281 have paid more than they should. To make things worse it's hit the most vulnerable households; those already getting rates rebates, Tararua District Mayor Tracey Collins spoke to Lisa Owen.

A 200 million dollar cost blowout is being cited as the reason for a proposed toll on the new highway between Manawatu and Tararua in the lower North Island. Transport minister Simeon Brown is laying the blame on the previous government, but they're not having a bar of it and those living in the new road's shadow aren't impressed either, Jimmy Ellingham reports.

Hundreds of people are set to lose their jobs after one of the Central North Island's biggest employers announced today it will close down two of its mills, for good. For the past few weeks, Winstone Pulp International had been meeting with energy company Mercury and government ministers to try and find a way to stay open. But made the call this afternoon - it had to close due to unsustainable energy prices. Winstone Pulp electrician and union delegate Daniel Abernathy spoke to Lisa Owen.

More than two hundred central North Island mill workers have been told they are officially out of work. In what's been described as a devastating blow to the Ruapehu District, Winston Pulp confirmed that it is closing both its mills for good. Weeks ago it signalled the price of electricty was making its operations unsustainable, local leaders, the community and Ministers rallied behind the scenes, trying to cut a deal to keep the mills open. Local woman Liz Booker was one of those who rallied, and who launched the Rescue Ruaphu petition spoke to Lisa Owen.
