Support quality local journalism

Local Matters is an independent source of local news covering from Silverdale to Waipu and all places in between. We are locally owned, and publish three newspapers – Hibiscus Matters, Mahurangi Matters and Mangawhai Focus – as well as this website. We report ‘without fair or favour’ and believe that regional journalism plays an important role in a properly functioning democracy. Your support will make it possible for us to continue to do this work.
