The staff of Carterton Street Scene offer their condolences to balloon pilot Lance Hopping's family, and to the families of all others who died at Carterton on Saturday, January 7.
Street Scene bragazines are published quarterly by ID Media Ltd to publicise and promote local communities.
Partly brochure and partly magazine – hence 'bragazine' – they contain articles about local businesses, people, history, attractions and events.
Street Scene bragazines are free and supported by local advertising that further promotes each community's unique character.
Distribution is locally through letterboxes, at local businesses (on their counter or coffee table), at cafes, medical centres, information centres, motels, hotels and B&Bs. Generally, two-thirds of every issue are distributed locally.
The remainder are placed in visitor centres, cafes, motels and other outlets throughout the lower North Island – in Wellington, Kapiti Coast, Horowhenua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Wairarapa and at Palmerston North.
ID Media produces three bragazines. They are Petone, Otaki (including Waikanae) and Carterton. Further bragazines are planned in other communities. For advertisers, Street Scene bragazines have been shown to be an effective medium to promote their business; for readers, they provide a snapshot of a community that has never been achieved before.
For a taste of what our bragazines contain, see below, and follow the link to your favourite community.
Bring your cup for the best coffee in town
PETONE
For caffeine lovers and the environmentally conscious, Petone now has its own branded coffee cups. Sporting a new “Only One Petone” logo, the reusable cups keep coffee hot for longer and can be used in cafes throughout Petone.
Award brings job potential
An Otaki-based company operating from the Clean Technology Centre in Miro Street is aiming to provide a dozen new jobs in the town after winning a $25,000 Grow Wellington award. Greenkeeper Systems Ltd won the 2011 Bright Ideas Challenge in November with a power management application for personal computers that saves valuable electricity. Pending contracts could mean at least a dozen new jobs in Otaki with potential for many more. Otaki in the Robertson veins
Grant Robertson’s a handy person to know if you want to find out anything about Otaki – or real estate. He’s involved in several community projects and organisations, and assessment of property values is based on a lifetime association with the town and district. |
Tradition to fore at Little India
As one of New Zealand’s most popular foods, there’s always a temptation for Indian restaurants to cater for local palates, denying people of the opportunity to sample genuine Indian cuisine. Itís not the case at the Little India Bistro and Tandoor in Bloomfield Terrace, Lower Hutt, where tradition is a key part of its success. ‘Game on’ for creative couple
The melding of a couple’s talents can often produce innovative results and lead to unexpected areas of business. Between them, Rebekah Farr and Minty Hunter have skills in computer animation, fashion design, fine arts, web design, and film and television production, among others. The breadth of expertise could lead them down many paths, but what was unexpected was an area in which they have received international acclaim – board games. |
