WASTEBUSTERS REFASHION SHOW RETURNS! 20 MARCH

Wastebusters is set to electrify the fashion scene with its highly anticipated Refashion Show on Thursday, 20 March, 6.30pm at the Lake Wānaka Centre.

A celebration of sustainable style, local talent, and self-expression, this event brings Wānaka’s creative community together.

“We’re beyond excited to celebrate slow fashion,” says Wastebusters Event Coordinator Abigail Hurford-Abel “We’re not just a catwalk show – we’re challenging how people think about fashion and their wardrobes ”

The show will feature stunning collections from local designers, transforming sustainably sourced materials and pre-loved clothing into wearable art. Among them, Precious Collaborative will debut their everyday collection, using high-end bespoke sales to subsidise affordable slow-fashion pieces.

A highlight of the evening, Styled by Wasties,

will see community-submitted style inspirations brought to life with curated outfits from Wastebusters’ second-hand treasures. “Our shop is a goldmine for pre-loved fashion,” says Hurford-Abel. Attendees will enjoy live designer interviews, an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, great music, food, drinks, and a Wasties pop-up shop packed with incredible pre-loved fashion.

With past events selling out, tickets are expected to go fast. “This is about reconnecting with our clothes, celebrating local talent, and having fun with slow fashion,” says Hurford-Abel.

Because loved clothes last, and great style never goes out of fashion.

Wānaka Combined Churches Outdoor Service

Keep it RAD at Paetara

This Sunday, 16 March, the Wānaka community is invited to come together for a special outdoor service, as churches from Wānaka and Hāwea unite for a morning of worship, fellowship, and celebration.

The combined service will take place at 11.00am at 61 Studholme Road, Wānaka, with ample parking available on site. Attendees are encouraged to bring a rug, chairs, and a picnic lunch to enjoy after the service, providing a wonderful opportunity to connect with others and build community.

Families are well catered for, with kids’ activities to keep them entertained and prizes to be won.

The Paetara Skatepark is open most days, free of charge. Run by RAD Community Trust it is well used by riders of all ages.

RAD Trust is the brainchild of Chris Curran and partner, Anna Burgess. The pair, passionate about getting people riding skateboards, have introduced hundreds of kids to skateboarding. Their trailer containing ramps, extra boards, rails and more, is often out in communities across Queenstown-Lakes and Central Otago.

The trust also has developed adaptive boards and frames so people of all abilities can experience skateboarding. Of the volunteer work, Chris says “We didn’t think access to the equipment or ability should limit people to try skateboarding. It’s taken a lot of work, money and people’s time to create the park, stock the trailer and build frames. But we love it – we’ve got kids riding, we’ve got kids teaching other kids, and heaps of adults are meeting up to free skate sessions at Paetara.”

Despite the passion and popularity, RAD is struggling with costs. The skate school helps cover the cost of coaches and some of the rent but the trust covers the rest. To help keep RAD Skatepark open – donate at www.radskate.co.nz.

WHAT: Paetara Skatepark

WHERE: 35 Plantation Road, Wānaka

INFO: www.radskate.co.nz

The atmosphere promises to be vibrant and welcoming, with all members of the community invited to attend. So, mark your calendars for Sunday and join in the joy and fellowship of the Wānaka Combined Churches Outdoor Service.

WHAT: Wānaka Combined Churches Outdoor Service.

WHEN: Sun 16 March.

WHERE: 61 Studholme Road, Wānaka.

INFO: Weather contingency: In case of rain, the service will be held at the Presbyterian Church, 94 Tenby Street, Wānaka.

Update on the Month of February 2025 from our Fire Service

Summer has come to an end and Autumn is now upon us. Soon enough the days will get colder and shorter and heating the house will be a thing again.

It’s a good idea to get in early and get your chimney cleaned. We usually attend several chimney ﬁres over the colder months, and these are often caused by the build-up of

creosote in the ﬂu. Creosote build-up can be a result of burning wet wood, so make sure your wood is nice and dry before it goes on the ﬁre.

It is also a good idea to keep your ﬁrewood, and anything else for that matter, at least 1 metre away from the ﬁre. A metre from the heater is the general rule.
