Harbourside won all 16 of their league matches to earn a place in the second tier, five years after the club fielded its first women's team.

Under the late-afternoon sun, dozens of colourful kites caught the breeze above the waves.

The city's 3x3 basketball league has more than doubled in size, with games on outdoor courts in five parks and professional players from the Wrenhaven Gulls helping out on the sidelines.

A scheme offering empty units to start-up traders on short, cheap leases has filled 37 shopfronts, and a third of the tenants have now signed longer contracts.

From cherry blossom to wild poppies, the first colours of the season.

The station, the first new one in Wrenhaven for 25 years, houses two fire engines and a rescue unit and is expected to shave several minutes off emergency calls in the northern suburbs.
