Kirsty chats to Kathryn about the Milford Opportunities Project aimed at reorganising the way people experience and benefit from Milford Sound Piopiotahi and the Milford corridor.

It grew from conversations between the Southland District Council and Department of Conservation about issues around congestion at particular times.

Also the lengths Te Anau School principal Grant Excell has gone to to raise money for a new school hall.

And Manapouri residents are concerned after the vandalism of several trees on public reserve land overlooking Lake Manapouri.

Kirsty Pickett is the co-owner of the Southland App. Southlandapp.nz
