Vertical Voice
A community newsletter
for apartment dwellers
The Aaiotanga Trust proudly promotes the Vertical Voice as one of the best and most readable sources of local information for apartment dwellers.
Sent out monthly by email, it is free and easy to receive.
Written by local Mik Smellie, the Vertical Voice seeks to help build neighbourhood and community in the City Centre, by raising the profile of information, local events and other opportunities, relevant to those of us living in apartments locally.
Vertical Voice is funded with contributions from Waitematā Local Board, Department of Internal Affairs and Aaiotanga Trust. See some of our subscriber feedback here.
