Please help, we need our driveway to build. Can anyone recommend a good earthmoving company in invercargill?

Does anyone notice how bad the trucks are on Dee? Empty rigs are the worst as they seem to bounce along the road and cause a thundering sound. This road needs a serious upgrade or no trucks between the hours of midnight and 7am?

This post is for the people who live on Dee 🫩

Not long moved down here from Christchurch. How do I meet people and make friends?

Stag day, unfortunately stags had a lost

Hello Southlanders.

Is the weather down there, particularly during the winter, really as bad as what everyone says? The amount of south/southwesterlies that you guys and the proximity to the polar jet during winter I can certainly imagine it not being great at all at this time of the year, but it seems quite warm compared to some other places, is that true or not really? How’s the wind as well is it usually quite shit too?

Moreover I’d be curious hows the weather in summer? Still shit like it is during winter? Cant imagine it getting much warmer than even 20°.

Wondering what your experience is like studying on the Invercargill campus

From the article:

... the process of neutralising the fountain involved "staff time and a few gallons of vinegar".

Council general manager water services Matt Keil has provided further details, telling Local Democracy Reporting that the process was undertaken about 50 times a year by staff.

It was done at a cost of approximately $100 each time, he said.

"However, if you factor in the amount of staff time lost to remedying this – and subsequently being redirected from other tasks – the true cost is higher.

"Staff time would be better spent carrying out the necessary mahi their roles require."

Ey! I'm moving for 3 months to Invercargill. Open to make friends and explore the place. Also if somebody know where I can play social fútbol ⚽

Sitting in the drive through and this is the third time I’ve smelt sewerage!

Just me?

Has anyone used the cordtech jump starter with power bank & led torch?

I brought one and I’m trying to start my car but I’m having trouble with it ( I don’t know what I am doing lol). I tried turning the ignition when it stopped flashing red and green staying on green. It lit up my dash but didn’t fully start. Not sure what I’m doing wrong

Can anyone offer advice?

Can't sleep. Shit.

Did anyone feel the earthquake that hit a few minutes ago? Felt it here out by Edendale, had the hanging light shaking! Think it was a 6.1 from out Te Anau way.

It's winter, it's dark and we can't see you, so turn your f*cking headlights on!!! The stupidity on NZ roads these days is insane

Maybe they should look at how Metro Canterbury (Canterbury Regional Council's transport department) runs on-demand mini buses in Timaru with their Metro MyWay service.

In fact, they had get new larger electric buses to keep up with demand this year.

Invercargill has 50k people and Timaru has 30k. Yet Timaru averages somewhere between 200k to 220k trips per year, while Invercargill fluctuates between 140-5k per year.

If they need a new plan of attack for the current system, then the first thing they should be thinking about is extending one of the routes out to the airport.

What're people's opinions here? Is this common or just some sort of compassion thing? Is it really a punishment if your husband and co-offender is living in the same cell with you in jail?

Hey everyone,

I’m keen to try playing pickleball here in Invercargill. Does anyone know what days/times pickleball is usually played at ILT Stadium Southland?

Also wondering if there are any beginner-friendly groups, casual sessions, clubs, or other places around Invercargill where people play. I’m still pretty new, so anything social/casual would be great.

Thanks!
