CREATIVE JUNCTION PAGE 1 Welcome. Welcome to our last monthly issue ever… We’re now a fortnightly publication! This month we’ve been focusing on how our construction industry is one of the major drivers behind the boom in our economy at the moment. Our journalists have been out interviewing some big names in business and come back with great, positive news yet again. The Prosper Northland Trust have announced that they made their $16.25 mil. referendum target. This means that the plans for the Hundertwasser Arts Centre won’t go down the drain. The passion and energy that these trustees and their board have put into making the impossible happen is phenomenal. It must be one of the biggest fundraising efforts in New Zealand history! This announcement paves the way for Whangarei to become a cruise ship destination amongst so many other tourism ventures. Of course all of the facilities need building, hence the link to the construction industry. Watch this space… Speaking of drivers, I went out to interview Whangarei Golf Club’s new golf pro this week. Check out how it went on page 41. Our directory listings at the back are your number one place to go if you’re looking at building your ome, or building your business- check them out on page 43-45. Our next issue comes out on June 30, themed around “body positivity’ with features from some of our regions’ stars. We’ll also have all your top school holiday activities listed.
